Hearth & Story Sixth Grade Poetry

Welcome to Hearth & Story’s Sixth Grade Poetry homeschool course—where middle school students can experience the magic of poetry! Just like our fifth grade level, this course is intended to serve as a warm welcome to the world of poetry, designed especially for sixth grade homeschool students.

This course features a mini anthology of 30 poems, each one selected to engage and inspire students while also using (mostly) modern language. To learn more about our philosophy of teaching poetry to middle grade students, click here for a blog post or here for a video.

Each poem in this course comes with both a homeschool lesson and a coloring page students can work on while discussing the poem, allowing students to create a colorful collection of poems they can revisit again and again.

This course is designed to be used with the Hearth & Story Literary Term Flashcard set, which is also available at our online store. This is the same set of flashcards used in the fifth grade Hearth & Story poetry course. For those who already have these flashcards, you do not need to purchase them again.
