Paperback

You're sixth grader (or thereabouts) is capable of absorbing a lot of information. This is a really fun time to teach kids. They can learn a lot, read well, understand and join in adult conversation and are generally interested in just about anything their parents are.
Either read them, or hand them What Your Sixth Grader Needs To Know and they will learn a lot, but more importantly be equipped with information that they can ask great questions. After all, that's where learning really begins -- from asking questions.
Your sixth grader will learn about great literature, classical myths, world and American history/geography and lots more. Below is a condensed version of the Table of Contents. To include the whole Table of Contents would be extremely time consuming. I think you'll get the idea with this abbreviated version.
