Abstract: The teleparallel equivalent of higher order Lagrangians like $L_{BoxR}=-R+a_0{R}^2+a_{1}RBoxR$ can be obtained by means of the boundary term $B=2abl{a}_{mu}{T}^{mu}$. In this perspective, we derive the field equations in presence of matter for higher-order teleparallel gravity considering, in particular, sixth-order theories where the $Box$ operator is linearly included. In the weak field approximation, gravitational wave solutions for these theories are derived. Three states of polarization are found: the two standard $+$ and $imes$ polarizations, namely 2-helicity massless transverse tensor polarizations, and a 0-helicity massive, with partly transverse and partly longitudinal scalar polarization. Moreover, these gravitational waves exhibit four oscillation modes related to four degrees of freedom: the two classical $+$ and $imes$ tensor modes of frequency $omeg{a}_1$, related to the standard Einstein waves with $k_1^2=0$; two mixed longitudinal-transverse scalar modes for each frequencies $omeg{a}_2$ and $omeg{a}_3$, related to two different 4-wave vectors, $k_2^2=M_2^2$ and $k_3^2=M_3^2$. The four degrees of freedom are the amplitudes of each individual mode, i.e. $hat{epsilon}^{(+)}left(omeg{a}_{1}ight)$, $hat{epsilon}^{(imes)}left(omeg{a}_{1}ight)$, $hat{B}_{2}left(mathbfkight)$, and $hat{B}_{3}left(mathbfkight)$.
