My Project

After over 4 hours of professional development on the Secret Stories method, I am astonished at the simplicity of this program, yet the HUGE opportunity it provides to positively impact my students for years to come. This curriculum enhancement opens the doorway for my kindergarten students to have earlier access to "the code" for advanced reading and writing which will positively alter the trajectory of their education.

"Secret Stories® is a brain based approach to traditional phonics instruction that accelerates learner access to the reading and writing code.

Secret Stories® provides the logical explanations for letter sound behavior that learners brains crave. These logical explanations are shared in the form of “secret” stories, which are the secret reasons WHY letters make all of the crazy sounds that they do when they get together in words. The “Secrets” work seamlessly with any reading series or phonics program, fitting snugly between the teaching of reading and writing. (SecretStories.com)"
