My Project

Hi! Thank you SO much for checking out my project! My special education resource room is in need of Secret Stories to help support our phonics FUN! :) So many educators are saying that Secret Stories have been the lifeline of their classroom and that students are making so much progress in their phonics knowledge. These stories give the "secrets" to why different phonics patterns make the sounds that they do; so not only does this make our crazy language easier to remember, it makes it fun!

By aligning letter behavior (why letters do what they do) to kid behavior (why kids do what they do), Secret Stories makes complex phonics skills familiar, allowing students to quickly gain power over text for reading and writing!

This project includes the class kit, flash cards (to be used at my small group table as a reference), and TPT gift cards for supplemental resources from their official storefront. We are so excited to bring phonics to life in my classroom!

Thanks in advance for considering a donation! :)
