Sixth Grade Brain Food

Keep Your Brain on a Healthy Information Diet with Hearth & Story Sixth Grade Brain Food!

Feed your child's intellect with a weekly helping of Brain Food! This digital download, specially designed for sixth graders, helps students navigate the tricky world of Media Literacy, try out their public speaking skills, learn how to enjoy nonfiction reading, and more. Brain Food is full of thought-provoking lessons that not only stimulate the mind but also foster meaningful conversations between homeschooled students and their families.

Key Features:

Media Literacy: Equip your student with the critical thinking skills to navigate the complex landscape of media. Brain Food covers mass media, trusted news sources, bias, misinformation, and more.

Public Speaking, Step By Step: Students think about speaking and listening, plan a short speech, create a visual aid, and perform or publish their work.

Nonfiction for Life: Brain Food includes a unit on reading nonfiction for leisure, equipping students with the skills to follow an argument, digest information, and (hopefully) become lifelong learners.

Enriching Conversations: Brain Food stimulates meaningful discussions between homeschooling parents and their sixth graders. It's a helpful jumping off point for exploring ideas, values, and perspectives within your family.

Sixth Grade Brain Food includes weekly lessons designed to meet or exceed standards for analyzing informational text, speaking/listening, writing, and more. It is designed to be used as part of Hearth & Story Complete Sixth Grade, but Brain Food can also be used as a standalone addition to your existing English Language Arts program.
