Secret Stories Enhancement Materials

Help me give my students materials to bring the Secret Stories further to life with TPT gift cards and engage their learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Groom's classroom raised $275

My Project

I recently began implementing the Secret Stories by Katie Garner, in my kindergarten classroom, and my students LOVE them. They help to "crack the reading code with the brain in mind". I already have the posters for my wall and the book to use as a teachers' guide, but I would love some additional materials to enhance my teaching and learning that are available on Teachers Pay Teachers.

I am seeking help to obtain posters, mini mats, flashcards, word collection books, and sight word enhancement materials to engage and further instruct my students.

The phonics flashcards would be very beneficial for quick practice with my students. The word collection books would be great for student use to write their own examples of secrets during writing time. The Better Alphabet anchor posters would also be great to hang on the wall so that my students have consistent visuals. The mini mats would be great to use for letters run and fluency. The interactive sight word materials would be great to tie all of the secrets in with our curriculum taught sight words.

The Secret Stories have already been incredibly beneficial in my classroom and I think that these additional resources would make it even better!
