6th Grade Grammar Curriculum Overview
Sixth-grade grammar instruction addresses style and precision in addition to correctness. Under Common Core L.6.1, students learn to use subjective, objective, and possessive pronoun cases correctly, recognize and correct inappropriate pronoun shifts in number and person, and recognize variations from standard English in their own and others' writing. They learn to use intensive pronouns ("myself," "ourselves") and distinguish them from reflexive pronouns. Sentence structure work focuses on recognizing and correcting sentence fragments and run-ons, varying sentence patterns for meaning and reader interest, and maintaining consistency in style and tone. Punctuation skills include using commas, parentheses, and dashes to set off nonrestrictive elements. Students learn to spell correctly, recognizing that spell-checkers are useful but imperfect tools. Vocabulary work emphasizes interpreting figurative language (personification, allusion), analyzing connotation and denotation, and using context and reference materials to determine precise word meanings.
