People speak well of the Singapore Challenging Word Problems, but I guess online is more useful at this stage. Googling
word problems 6th grade
gives enough to keep you going, probably, but I might just make them up.
Actually, getting *her* to try making some up might be as helpful as anything. Let her see it from the other side... I bet that'd be more useful than mechanical decoding, actually. Get her writing some (eg, give her a list of sums and have her wrap each one up in a wp) and then discuss what words turn up corresponding to the operations in her versions.
ETA Even better, have her write some for you, then you do them in front of her. Discuss any ambiguities, edit the wording to remove them...
