There is nothing more that I love than seeing the benefits of strong phonics instruction on a student's reading ability! I am an Early Childhood Educator working with students in PREK-1st. This year I have been using the Science Of Reading approach with my students. Recently, I have been introduced to Secret Stories and I have found the missing link in my instruction.
I love hands-on, fun activities to engage my students and keep them motivated for academic success.
Learning how to read can be fun, but it is HARD. High-interest activities help my students remain engaged. Secret Stories brings to life the Science of Reading phonics approach. Secret Stories tell 'secrets'. My students love learning about the secrets in words. I am requesting secret stories classroom posters and student supplies to enhance my phonics centers by using Secret Stories.
Please help us learn all of the Secrets in reading.
