My Project

Help our students receive these awesome secret stories!

These ¨secret stories¨ are specifically aligned with the Science of Reading to engage students and help them retain digraph skills.

Digraphs are an essential first grade standard and can be very difficult for students to learn. Secret Stories is a fun and engaging way to teach them digraphs and retain those skills to make reading not only easier, but more fun! They also align with the evidence based Science of Reading methods that are transforming they way kids learn to read in phenomenal ways!
