My Project

Decoding and spelling is hard! But Secret Stories unlock the code and make it easy!

Secret Stories teach the code of reading.

Students are able to use the fun stories of why the letters behave the way they do to decode any word. I would love to be able to purchase additional materials from TPT to give my students all the resources they need to become proficient readers and spellers. Although learning to read is brain science, the secrets make learning fun, tangible, and memorable for even the most reluctant reader.
