I have loved guiding my 5yr old through the early stages of reading with these books and activities. It’s so easy to use and it makes the learning process fun and playful rather something to dread. We both look forward to reading together now! It’s a little miracle worker. So pleased with the results!
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!
I love these books! The lesson in the front is simple and straightforward and the books don’t include anything that hasn’t been taught yet. The illustrations are beautiful and my daughter is loving learning to read!
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.
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.
My 6yr old and I love the Dash collection. When we recieved set 2 and 3 we were very excited to see even more fabulous products from the Dash team. So excited to read through them all. Thanks Amelia at Dash!
I started this program with my 6 year old a few months ago and she just reached the third set. She is doing so well and gaining lots of confidence. The stories are adorable, sweet and beautifully illustrated!
These dolls are beautifully made! My kids love playing with them and acting out the stories. So fun!
Dot the pony is beautifully made and the perfect size for kids to play with.
My daughters love horses and also love to color. This handwriting is exciting and engaging to them. I love how the stokes are taught using Dash the horse. My daughter was having trouble with making the loop stoke until they had her lasso to horses! It just clicked! I highly recommend it.
These familiar and relatable stories each are paired with creative games and activities which inspire all learners to think about best actions in such situations - Yes!
Thank You!
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.
Wow!, I cannot say enough good things about this program. I have tried companies and my LO and by far the Dash program is his favorite. he loves the characters which is what the other reading systems are missing. We just started set 2 and he is doing really well. You can really see him using the skills learned in set 1 to decode more challenging words. We are taking it slow but he got it!
So excited to set up a little tea party with my kids and read our poetry books!
I love the idea of my children learning to read through poetry! I also love how well a story is told in little words through poetry for young readers!
This is such a great set, it both teaches and provides everything needed for a super fun party! Thank you!
We love all of Dash Into Learning curriculum! This handwritinf notebook os great, it is the perfect amount of time for a child too. There is also coloring/drawing/activity involved which is exciting for them to get to do after their lesson.
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.
The adorable art work in these books not only appeals to my new reader, but my older, reluctant reader as well! Even though she has learned these phonics principles in the past, she asked to read these sweet stories just for fun!
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.
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.
We had been struggling with letter reversals with our 1st grader all school year. Finally, this pack seems to have done the trick. She literally completed the packet in a day and since then, her reversals have reduced by about 90%, only occurring now when she's very tired. Pro tip: the method used in this b/d pack also works for p/q reversals, and the guidance has helped reverse her r/m/n/h reversals as well. So glad I tried it!
