My Project

I absolutely adore my students and their enthusiasm to learn. They are special because they come from diverse backgrounds, have a range of abilities, and are eager to explore the world around them. My students are passionate about reading and writing, but some still struggle with decoding words. It can be frustrating for them, so I'm always on the lookout for innovative tools that can help them learn more effectively.

That's why I'm excited about incorporating Secret Stories® into our phonics instruction.

These materials will make a significant difference in their learning by providing a fun and engaging approach to traditional phonics methods. With Secret Stories®, my students will learn the logical explanations for why letters make specific sounds when they're combined in words. By understanding these "secrets," they'll be able to decode words more fluently and read with more confidence.
