Books for 6th Grade

Our Books for 6th Grade collection showcases titles that tend to resonate with readers around ages 11–12 as they transition into middle school. Homeschoolers, afterschooling families, and caregivers will find vetted, secular fiction and nonfiction across genres—fantasy, adventure, realistic fiction, historical fiction, science writing, biographies, and more. Every book is reviewed for literary quality, age-appropriateness, and inclusive representation, with attention to varying maturity and reading levels. Use the filters to sort by genre, subject connection (science, history, social-emotional themes), reading level, and topics such as friendship, identity, resilience, or justice. You can also filter for high-interest or audio-friendly picks that often work well for ADHD or dyslexic readers. Many families anchor sixth grade language arts or independent reading around choices from this collection. If you’re unsure which books will both stretch and delight your reader, Modulo’s AI learning concierge can help you curate a list tailored to your child.
