Dash Into Learning

What it is

A phonics-based language arts program for preschool (ages 3-4) through fourth grade, built around early reader books with phonics lessons inside the stories and recurring animal characters led by Dash the pony. Full-year bundles for kindergarten through fourth grade combine pieces such as the readers, handwriting, spelling, poetry, and an emotional resilience book series; the kindergarten through second-grade bundles also include the Wonder Workshop enrichment course on artists, composers, poets, and folk songs, with a full-year schedule. The publisher describes the books as open-and-go and recommends reading lessons of 3 to 10 minutes a day; it states that all of its curriculum is secular.
