My children have been using Level 2 Spelling for the past few months and it has been such a positivie addition to our homeschool! They are able to do it independently as part of their morning routine, the activities are fun and purposeful, and I love that there are beautiful poems and quotes woven into it. Thank you Dash!

The spelling curriculum might me my favorite of all of the Dash products! I love the scope and structure and how it's laid out. The continuation of stories throughout multiple chapters is so clever because it motivates my child to keep going. Love it!

A very thorogh guide to English Spelling. The blook seems to include all the language rules within the spelling lists and lots of reading activities where my children can insert and write their spelling words into proper sentences. The book reviews and revisits previous lessons to ensure my child has learned it. Thankyou so much. This is what I needed for my homeschool students.

My son is really enjoying the daily lessons and activities for each day. I know when my daughter is ready to start spelling practice, she is going to love this, too!

My 1st grader was struggling with frustration and overwhelm in our current reading curriculum. Having used the Dash readers with my older 2 as a supplement, I decided to switch to those as her primary program to help her build confidence and rediscover the love of learning to read. I downloaded the sample of Spelling 1 to help with that same goal, and it has been awesome. I appreciate how it follows a similar sequence, phonics-wise, as our original program, so it's reinforcing what she knows, but in a gentle way that is building her confidence and making it more fun. She especially likes the typewriter activity, and I like that there isn't a list of words to memorize; instead, there's a phonics rule to apply - it's more transferrable and translatable to future decoding. Well done!!! We'll be buying the book now that the sample, which I'm very grateful for, proved itself beyond a shadow of a doubt.

We have been so happy with this product! We have twins that have been diagnosed with adhd (and one with dyslexia). Spelling has been a challenge for our family, but this has been a success. The boys look forward to doing their work, the systematic approach has allowed them to be successful, and it is not overly time-consuming for me as their mom/teacher.

I have a 2nd grader who really struggles with spelling and writing, I also have a fourth grader who loves reading but hates spelling. When we got our hands on the new Dash spelling books everything changed! Spelling has become our favorite part of the day!—My girls love their books and I (as mom) love the simplicity and instruction (and not to mention they are SO STINKIN CUTE!), it is just a fun way to learn.

I bought this spelling book for my oldest daughter since she is already reading and writing and ready to start spelling. The words start easy and progressively get tougher. It's a gentle but effective way to learn spelling.

I am loving it so far. My son has a hard time with writing and reading. We will be starting with Ch.1 for review and continue from there.

I haven’t been able to find an extensive spelling curriculum like this one. I’m happy Dash into Learning came out with this series.

We were SO excited when Dash came out with a spelling program. I’d been on the hunt for something to help reiterate basic spelling for my two sons in 2nd and 4th grade. This is a program we can do as a family, and they love that it’s quick and using the familiar Dash program they had such fond memories of learning how to read. Checks all the boxes and so grateful to have this resource!
C
My daughter was so excited to add this to her curriculum! She has sped through the handwriting and we have now incorporated working on spelling! 🤩
K
We LOVE all Dash products! I can’t say enough good things about them! It’s so fun having the familiar friends come along with us on our reading and spelling journey!

We live Dash and were so excited for spelling to launch and it did not disappoint! So simple and beautifully made.

My kids love the story format, it makes the words feel more concrete in their world. And the daily games and activities are just right. I was surprised at how chock-full of goodness these books are. This is not a flimsy dull workbook or a boring collection of lists. It’s a treasure that my kids look forward to and I will be keeping in their annual portfolios!

Spelling felt dry before finding Dash into Spelling and now it’s one of our favorite homeschool subjects! We love how lessons are laid out and the activities incorporated. The best!!

This program is beautifully done and my daughter actually enjoys spelling now! And she’s becoming more confident with her spelling.

This is a spelling program that my child actually wants to do! It’s both fun and effective!! Lessons are short and not overwhelming. The colors parts make it even more enjoyable!

I absolutely love Dash into Spelling. With three kids now homeschooling our schedule can get crazy very fast. The simplicity and short time frame required to complete daily lessons makes this a worthwhile investment. My kids love the stories. The spelling bee review activities are fun and engaging. I appreciate the inclusion of beautiful poetry in Book 3. The structure of the books are very sound and easy to follow, with reviews of old spelling words throughout the year. A lot of curriculums I’ve purchased in the past for language arts don’t have a strong emphasis on spelling. This is the perfect supplement! Thank you Dash into Learning for another great product!
K
These are BEAUTIFUL books! I can’t wait to get started with them!!

I love the simplicity and beauty of the Dash into Spelling. Like all other products I've used, this is a great resource!
