Help me give my students a brain based approach to traditional phonics instruction that accelerates learner access to the reading and writing code!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Alonso's classroom raised $248
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
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 Students
The future of the world is inside my kindergarten classroom! My students are smart, respectful, persistent, inventive, curious, and kind. They are a group of boys and girls from Miami, Florida who are eager to learn about the world around them.
If you are able, please, consider helping me create an environment that fosters growth, collaboration, enthusiasm, and inclusion during these unprecedented times.
My Project
Secret Stories® is a brain based approach to traditional phonics instruction that accelerates learner access to the reading and writing code. Secret Stories® provides the logical explanations for letter sound behavior that learners brains crave.
These logical explanations are shared in the form of “secret” stories, which are the secret reasons WHY letters make all of the crazy sounds that they do when they get together in words.
The “Secrets” work seamlessly with any reading series or phonics program, fitting snugly between the teaching of reading and writing.
Half 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
