This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My students are fun, hard-working kids with various diverse abilities and learning needs. But as they get older, I see them lose their confidence as readings become more challenging to understand. Every child wants to feel confident in reading and writing.
Secret Stories puts an engaging spin on teaching children the relationships between sounds and their spelling by using unique and funny stories that stick with them forever.
These materials will help my students to learn the tricky phonics patterns that are difficult to remember, and help build their mastery to become strong, confident readers & writers.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
