Middle School English Language Arts Resources

Strengthen reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary skills with Education.com’s Middle School ELA worksheets and resources, designed for sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students. With over 750 printable worksheets, lesson plans, and hands-on activities, our collection offers structured, standards-aligned English Language Arts practice to support classroom instruction, homeschooling, and independent learning.

Middle school reading comprehension worksheets help learners analyze a wide range of fiction and nonfiction texts. Students will cite textual evidence, evaluate the author’s point of view or purpose, identify theme, and explore character development. Novel studies include pre-reading tasks, guided discussions, and post-reading analysis that build critical thinking. Additional passages explore cross-curricular topics like science, history, poetry, and current events.

Writing practice includes narrative, argumentative, reflective, and descriptive tasks that teach students how to organize ideas and develop strong, well-supported paragraphs. Learners refine their writing by eliminating redundant language, using transitions, and improving sentence structure. The PEEL method (Point, Evidence, Explanation, Link) is introduced to support paragraph development and coherence.

Grammar and vocabulary worksheets offer focused practice on compound-complex sentences, punctuation, word roots, parts of speech, and verbals, including gerunds and participles. Learners explore literary devices, figurative language, and editing strategies through fun seasonal activities, word games, and poetry exercises.

All ELA materials for middle school are available in both print and digital formats to meet the needs of diverse learning environments. Use our filters to easily search by grade, topic, or skill to find the right tools for instruction, review, or enrichment.
