Learn language basics with this interactive program!
A helpful dog named Shakespeare guides students through a variety of interesting outdoor activities that are full of animation, music, and voice. Students focus on defined reading and writing skills, as they work through each phase including “Learn” where students receive instruction on the concepts before moving to the “Do ”where they practice for themselves. Many concepts also have an “Explore” mode where students can further expand their skills.
