As part of ongoing improvements to the 6th grade reading and vocab course, several updates have been made. The course will continue to be revised, with a full update scheduled for January 2026.

What’s been updated so far?

• Reading strategy articles have been added to all long passage practice units
• Replaced the literature passages in long-passage practice exercises with high-interest, frequently taught published texts
• 8 new exercises
• 7 new articles
• 1 new video

Will this affect student mastery?

Yes. The total number of skills in the course has increased, which may lower a student’s current mastery percentage. This is expected and nothing to worry about.

Reminder: A drop in mastery % does not mean students have lost progress. It just means there are more skills to work toward!
