Analysis
My English VI is a six-unit SPELT-developed reader whose units are competency themes rather than topics — cleanliness, physical well-being, patience, the value of labour, other nations, hobbies — each running the same six-part spine of reading, speaking, language practice, writing, study skills and a closing Fun section. It carries zero religious selections; religion survives only as everyday texture ("I go for my Quran classes", "Insha'Allah, one day I will have my own shop"), with Eid, Christmas and Diwali sharing a single grammar frame at PAGE 96, which is what holds A1 at 2. A2 is 5 because the whole civic lexicon returns nothing: no constitution, citizen, democracy, election or vote anywhere in the book. The A6 of 1 rests on Unit 5, Knowing Children from Other Nations — first-person diaries from Brazil, Ghana and Thailand whose Ghanaian narrator Kofi is also non-speaking (printed p.81), the most globally oriented unit in the corpus. A7 4 records the absence of any gender unit; girls appear only as classmates. The file is native digital without page markers, so cite by printed folio; its Flesch-Kincaid of 5.5 is the corpus's easiest entry point.

Measured scores
Axes not listed were not scored for this book — coverage is uneven by design. All axes run 1–5, where 1 is the secular/pluralist/open pole. See the method.
Evidence recorded 5
Three kinds, deliberately styled apart. A quotation is verbatim wording and is only ever taken from English-medium text. An observation describes structure or theme — the only kind permitted for Urdu and Sindhi material, which this project never quotes. An absence is a negative result: a probe was run and returned nothing, which is the weakest claim made anywhere on this site.
absence religion lens A1 = 2 printed p. 96 native text #e01
A negative result. It records that a probe was run and found nothing — not that the thing is not in the book. Where this rests on Urdu material the correct reading is not established, never absent, because degraded Nastaliq OCR cannot tell those apart.
absence civics lens A2 = 5 native text #e02
A negative result. It records that a probe was run and found nothing — not that the thing is not in the book. Where this rests on Urdu material the correct reading is not established, never absent, because degraded Nastaliq OCR cannot tell those apart.
observation patriotism lens A5 = 1 native text #e03

Every passage recorded for this book is shown above — nothing is withheld or truncated. Each item has a permanent anchor, so a single piece of evidence can be linked and disputed on its own.
Findings that cite this book 1
Militarismhigh confidence
Punjab is the only board that puts military martyrdom in an English reader, and its class-6 reader carries three separate martial texts. The same Nishan-e-Haider roll appears in its Urdu reader in the same year — the board is redundant across media at age eleven. Punjab's militarism peaks at the start and falls steadily to matriculation, which is the opposite of the usual assumption that this material arrives as pupils get older.
A finding states and cites; it does not argue. The argument is in the studies. Where a finding has counter-evidence it is printed above, in the same block, because a finding that hides its counter-evidence is a worse finding rather than a stronger one.

The checksum is of the exact file these findings were computed from, so anyone can prove they hold the same bytes. The retrieval date is when this copy was fetched to the project's own disk, not a formal web-archive capture. Boards and mirrors reprint and reorganise continuously, so a source link may not resolve, and may not serve the same edition if it does. The bibliographic record above — board, class, subject, medium, curriculum, edition, approval reference and page count — is what identifies the book; the link is a convenience. This project does not republish the PDF itself, for the copyright reasons set out in about.

| This record as data | /books/stbb-english-6-en.json · whole dataset |
The record ID is an accession number that happens to be readable. It never changes, even if the metadata encoded in it turns out to be wrong — if this book's board, class, subject or medium is corrected, the correction appears in the fields above and the ID stays as it is. That is the only way a link made today still resolves in ten years. The full rule is in the standards.

If the edition is misidentified, a score does not survive its evidence, the source link is wrong, or a passage is unfairly characterised, that is worth reporting and will be acted on whether or not the correction suits the argument. Corrections are published in the corrections log, never quietly patched. This applies fully to the board that publishes this book: any reply will appear beside the finding it concerns, under the right of reply.
