Daily Reading Practice for All Grade Levels!
Daily Reading Practice helps new and struggling readers gain confidence and fluency while practicing a wide range of comprehension strategies. And it teaches advanced readers to slow down and analyze text more carefully and purposefully. Students work with one passage for a whole week, studying different aspects of it each day. Passages represent many genres and subjects, so students are better equipped to understand ALL types of texts. Hi-lo version also available.
Daily Grammar Practice for All Grade Levels!
Stop memorizing rules and completing mindless worksheets, and start developing a deeper understanding of grammar and sentence structure. In about ten minutes a day, Daily Grammar Practice helps students understand how all grammar concepts connect in a way that truly impacts writing as well as reading comprehension. And with DGP Academy instructional videos, an expert teaches the lessons for parents who prefer not to! Daily Grammar Practice is available for English, Latin, French, and Spanish, but videos are available for the English versions only.
Optional DGP Academy Instructional Videos
DGP Academy provides short video lessons (about 1-5 minutes each) to accompany each day of Daily Grammar Practice. Dawn Burnette, creator of DGP, walks you through every sentence, explaining all of the concepts and answering questions that students and parents often ask. You get an expert as your own personal instructor!
To utilize the DGP Academy videos, parents still need a copy of the teacher’s guide, and students still need either workbooks or photocopied help pages and sentence lists from the teacher’s guide. Learn more about DGP Academy and see sample videos on our blog post.
Daily Spelling Practice for All Grade Levels!
Daily Spelling Practice focuses not on memorization but on phonics, word-building, and spelling attack skills to teach students HOW to spell. Levels available for all ages.

DGP Publishing and Common Core
DGP Publishing does not support any testing practices or political agendas associated with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), and these aspects of the CCSS have in no way influenced the materials we offer. All of our materials meet (and in most cases exceed) the minimum academic requirements set forth in the CCSS, but none of our materials promote the political agendas you may have seen in sample CCSS exercises and/or tests.
