My Project

All students should have access to excellent reading instruction and teachers. Secret Stories will provide me with a way to teach phonics instruction through the use of stories. Students will discover some of the odd phonics rules we have and help them hold on to them for life-long use.

Secret Stories is based on the Science of Reading and will provide an engaging way for students to learn phonics and become proficient readers.

All students can have fun with their phonics instruction and Secret Stories will help me provide that instruction to all of my second-grade students in an engaging way.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
