Fun and Easy for Parents and Kids
The Dash into Learning program is open-and-go, engaging, and phonics-based.
Start right from the beginning-- No need to even know the alphabet to start! We teach everything right from the start. Each set has 10 books that teach phonics step-by-step. Each book includes a "mini-lesson" and a charming story. No more lesson manuals.
A simple Teaching Guide book is included that teaches you how to teach your child to read in a fun way!
Story-Based Program Kids Love
Learn to read through charming stories and activities! Children love to keep reading with our stories and surprises. Find Dash the pony hiding in every book!
Along with our wholesome characters, our "Follow Dash the Pony" finger puppet, "Magic E" wand, blending path, and so much more keeps kids engaged.
Our progress-tracking sticker chart in each book makes kids so happy to read!
Expert-Approved Phonics Approach
Dash into Learning uses a phonics-based approach to teach reading. Teaching reading through phonics is science-backed as the best way to teach children to read. Teaching children how to decode words by knowing the phonics or “sounds the letters make” gives children the tools to read anything. We do not ask children to memorize the words, look at the picture and guess words, use context clues, see the word as a picture, or other problematic reading habits that other programs teach.
Teach your child to read the right way!
Playful Activity Packs Included!
Bring the stories to life with our Activity Packs! Puppets, coloring, games, "how to draw", handwriting, puzzles, matching, Bingo and so much more! PDF download to print at home as much as you want. A fun way to practice phonics and play!
Each book has a correlating Activity Pack that are 10+ pages each.
Acivity packs are included with EVERY book purchase!
Dash into Learning reading program is open-and-go, engaging, filled with fun stories, and phonics-based – the best way to learn to read! 10 Books + Activity Packs!
Set 1 includes 10 physical books that teach phonics in a clear, step-by-step way. Each book has a built-in "mini-lesson" which keeps the program simple and easy. Then, the child reads the charming story to master what was taught in the lesson. No lesson manuals! Our beautiful, charming illustrations enhance the story but don't create the bad habit of guessing instead of reading. ALSO included: PDF activity packs with 100+ pages of phonics practice through games, puppets and more!
The phonics and sight word progression is logical, easy, and not overwhelming. We never ask the child to read a word or sound in the story they haven't already mastered. Our phonics program BUILDS reading confidence this way.
Set 1 starts right at the beginning -- your child doesn't even need to know the alphabet! We teach the first few sounds and sight words they need to know, and how to blend them so they can decode words and then read the book. 10 Books, a teaching guide, and paper finger puppets shipped to your door. (Pre-Kindergarten/Kindergarten level)
PLUS PDF Activity packs included! 100+ pages of FUN phonics practice! An activity pack for each book that includes puppets, games, mazes, matching, bingo, coloring, handwriting practice and so much more!

These books are just what I needed to get my 1st grade twin boys reading. We started reading the level one and I will definitely be ordering level two very soon.

LOVE these activities! It makes learning to read more fun for my daughter, and there's several activities and games for each book.

Our kids love it. Will definitely continue.

I used this set with my daughter as a supplement to another homeschool curriculum. We enjoyed the beautiful illustrations and the cute stories. I liked that I could print only what my daughter needed using the included PDF file. Great product! We will be purchasing more items from dash into learning for our next school year!

Video says it all -- Love it!

Before buying these books, my daughter had no interest in learning to read. She was frustrated and most of our school days were no fun. A friend told me about dash and now she’s flying through these books loving learning each character’s name and being able to read. She loves her worksheets and filling her sticker page as she moves through the books. Thank you!!!

What an adorable reading program. It took awhile for one of my children to really understand the learning method...but once she figured out what it means to "blend" the letters, if was great fun to see the progress. The activity packs are really what brought this program to life in my opinion. My girls especially loved the paper dolls. I did not use this as a stand alone reading program, but it is wonderful as supplement and to have additional easy readers. Sometimes we used it when we needed a break from our other program. It's also great for homeschooling through the summer if you need something "lighter" and fun. :)

Beautiful illustrations, easy to follow and a joy to use to teach my little one how to read.
Thanks you!!

My daughter loves the Fan and Sam book but most of all the activity pack has been so delightful to use while my daughter is learning to read. We were using another curriculum before and she was struggling blending sounds/words; there was a disconnect. Now she can sounds out the words because she has the base she needs. The blending pathway has been a game changer each week. This curriculum works - give it a try!

I greatly appreciate the gentle and simple nature of these books. With 5 kids, I value the quality time with them and love how easy this was to implement, where other programs would have been far more time consuming. Thank you for creating such a beautiful into to reading.

I love the illustrations, the activities, and everything about this set! We aren’t homeschoolers, but it’s a great supplement to what my kindergartener is learning at school!
S
I weighed lots of options for a reading curriculum for our first year of homeschool—my eldest’s kindergarten year, and I finally settled on Dash. He picked up on the reading so quickly, and this has been his favorite part of homeschool this year. I’d give six stars if I could for how easy it was for me to start homeschooling with this while I was pregnant and super sick! So excited to dive into set 2!

I really like these decodable readers for my kindergartener. She loves the beautiful pictures, cute stories, and activity pages- and so does her three year old sister!
Besides the beautiful pictures and activities that make these so attractive, I really like the teacher’s guide that comes with the books, and how each book has a few pages at the beginning for instruction and learning letters/phonics. We have used the Bob books before and while the first set has something similar at the beginning, the later sets that get trickier don’t have that. And neither do many of the other early reader books we’ve used previously. As a Mom that never paid too much attention to phonics before, they are so so helpful.

We used a different program for our oldest, that we still love for him, but it wasn't meeting the needs of our second kiddo. She needed something interactive, but in a different way, that leans into whimsy and beauty that children deserve as well! As a family we love Charlotte Mason principals, and this program ties into that well while not sacrificing some of the science of reading that we found so valuable in the other program we used. It's a wonderful balance and our sweet 5 year old is really enjoying interacting with these materials and lessons at her pace

My daughter loves this program and asks to start school!
S
LOVE LOVE LOVE these work books and easy readers! Everything is beautifully illustrated and easy to use. My child is thrilled to open these and get right to work.

My oldest daughter had so much fun with these books and using the stickers…we’re now onto set 2!
E
This pack is a great way to introduce reading to kids. It includes lots of fun and interactive activities that correlate with the stories we read together. A bright, engaging, colorful and easy way to dash into learning!
L
I purchased the books from another homeschool mama, and loved them so much (and found so much success with them) that I contacted Dash Into Learning to purchase the Activity Pack. My daughter has found the activities to be fun, and I appreciate that they are increasing her confidence and fluency. She especially likes the paper play people. I also love the font used - she has struggled with letter reversals and this font helps her correctly identify the letters.
K
We love these books!

We are loving everything about these books along with the supplemental sheets and the writing curriculum. Thank you for making such a classic and sweet product.

These were purchased for my 5 year old grandson to hopefully have him enjoy reading a bit more, thus far I believe it has done the trick
C
I ordered this because my 4 year old didn't like her big brothers "ugly" early reading books. When we got the Dash Into Reading books she instantly loved the cute pictures and wanted to read them.
H
My kindergarten boy loves these lessons. The customer service is amazing. I accidentally ordered something incorrectly, and they were very swift to help and got the right product into my hands very quickly.
L
As a former teacher homeschooling my daughters this product is exactly what I was looking for! Can’t wait to dive deep into this product!
A
We have LOVED these books and they have been such a great resource for our kindergartener after a few attempts with other resources were not very fruitful. The whimsical illustrations, the phonics lessons, and the sweet stories really resonate with our learner. I am grateful to have found Dash and am looking forward to watching our girl learn and grow!
A
We are loving these little lessons! Perfect length and just the right amount of a challenge. She's actually asking to do her "work" each day.
D
This set is so lovely! It's beautiful pictures, adorable characters, and downloadable activities make it so engaging for children and parents alike. This curriculum would be wonderful as a stand alone language arts program but also works as a supplement or reinforcement. I was looking for a supplemental reading program to go with our current curriculum. My kids are hands on learners and needed a little something more. Dash meets our needs perfectly!
