[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spent a year homeschooling a gifted 5th grader- there are a lot of higher level short stories online. Langston Hughes "Yes Ma'am" is my favorite for a 6th grader, and I also like "The Scholarship Jacket." Really great discussion points in both of these stories. "Eleven" is another good story. 
 You might consider ordering the past Wordmasters tests. That's an amazing mental exercise. Newsela for both kids- it's free and you can change the lexile levels for age. 
You asked about writing prompts- if it's simply creative writing prompt there are many free lists. [/quote]

Thank you - these are excellent suggestions.  I am ok with creative writing and have found lots of ideas for that online.  I think it's easier said than done to determine what will be the appropriate level of challenge.  Many of the prompts I fond for creative writing look like a really easy way out for my older one....My bet is that she could use more practice with persuasive writing and also what you describe where you have to write about a passage.  Thanks!![/quote]
