Grade 6 English
Grade 6 follows the new 2026 syllabus, which is organised by skill rather than by grammar topic. These activities cover listening, reading a functional text, writing in an official context, and reading a literary text. Each one names the competency level it practises.

Grade 6 is on the new syllabus
From 2026, Grade 6 works to a syllabus organised around five competencies — listening, speaking, reading, writing and literary appreciation — with texts grouped as functional, informational or literary. The competency numbers here do not match those used in Grades 7 to 11.
Grade 6 English practice
Reading a timetable, filling in a form, and reading a simple poem. These follow competency levels 3.1, 3.2, 3.5, 3.6 and 4.1 of the 2026 syllabus.

Grade 6 Game Zone
Short drag-and-drop and word-order games for the grammar focuses Grade 6 still needs: nouns, is / are / was / were, articles and prepositions. They sit beside the practice activities above — not instead of them.
Wordshake
Sixty seconds to make as many three and four letter words as you can from sixteen letters. Builds vocabulary and spelling together.
Open Grade 6 Game Zone
Twelve grammar games: sorting, missing words and sentence puzzles. Free, on a phone, and stars stay on your device.
Teacher Mode
Open any Grade 6 game large on a classroom screen. Choose the topic, then the game.
Grade 6 Pupil's Book Listening Tests
The listening activities from your English textbook, as tests you can do on your own. Your teacher usually reads these texts aloud in class; here your device reads them, so you can listen again at home, check your answers and see the text afterwards.
The activities follow the Grade 6 English Pupil's Book printed from 2014 to 2019, and one Workbook activity. If your class uses a newer book, the unit and activity numbers may differ.

Grade 6 Extra Listening Tests
Five extra listening tests written by RCF English, for practice beyond the textbook: short conversations, an announcement, a description and a story. The passage is read aloud by your own browser, so there is nothing to download.
Choose Practice to replay as often as you like, or Formal test for examination conditions, where the recording plays twice only. You can change the reading speed, and there are five words to learn before you listen. In Practice you can open the transcript if you are stuck; in a Formal test it appears only after you submit. Every test can be printed as a worksheet, and all of them, with the Pupil's Book activities, are together in the Listening Laboratory. These follow competency levels 1.1 to 1.6 of the 2026 syllabus.
