This reviewer covers the DepEd MELC-aligned Grade 6 English competencies — from vocabulary to grammar and writing.
Vocabulary and Word Study
Build vocabulary using context clues, synonyms, antonyms, and word parts (prefixes and suffixes).
| Word part | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| un- | not | unhappy |
| re- | again | rewrite |
| -ful | full of | helpful |
| -less | without | careless |
Reading Comprehension
Read texts and answer questions about the main idea, details, sequence, and cause and effect. Make predictions and draw conclusions.
The main idea is what the whole paragraph is mostly about — often found in the first or last sentence. Details support the main idea.
Grammar
Use the parts of speech correctly.
| Part of Speech | Job | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Noun | Names a person, place, thing | teacher, school, ball |
| Pronoun | Replaces a noun | he, she, it, they |
| Verb | Action or being | run, is, eat |
| Adjective | Describes a noun | big, happy, red |
Subject-verb agreement: a singular subject takes a singular verb (The dog runs), a plural subject takes a plural verb (The dogs run).
Composition and Writing
Write clear sentences and short paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting details. Use correct capitalization and punctuation. Write friendly letters and simple narratives.
