  10. MILESTONES… What should my 6th grader be able to do by now?

  11. Sixth Graders… • Read longer selections and chapter books independently for enjoyment. • See connections between different stories. • Be able to discuss underlying theme or message in fiction and distinguish cause and effect, fact and opinion, main idea and supporting detail in non-fiction.

  12. Sixth Graders… • Have a rich – and expanding – vocabulary. • Be attempting different types of writing (such as stories, reports, and poems). • Making writing more interesting by adding description and detail. • Spell more words correctly by seeing how words look and using spelling rules and word parts.

  13. Why is this important??? The Department of Corrections in the state of Georgia, predict the number of jails they will need to build based on the number of 3rd graders failing literacy (Reading / Writing) exams.

  14. OUR ROLE… • NEVER stop talking with your child. • Discuss life in and out of school. Listen and seek solutions together. • Make writing a habit, an everyday activity. • Show approval when child shares personal or special thoughts with you. • Stay in contact with your child’s teacher.

  15. OUR ROLE… • Remember, reading is important: even a sports magazine or sporting events can be related to school curriculum. • Fill your home with books, newspapers, magazines, and other reading materials. • Talk about what you read together. • Enjoy 1 hour away from the t.v. and READ!

  16. 6TH GRADE ACADEMY… • Young Men of Distinction • Male Mentors • Dads Day visits (anytime ) • Attend scheduled parental events YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE…

  17. OPEN DISCUSSION / IDEAS… “The guy who takes a chance, who walks the line between the known and the unknown, who is unafraid of failure, will succeed.” -Gordon Parks (b. 1912) American photographer, writer, and filmmaker.
