Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

Secret Stories is a treasure trove of linguistic magic waiting to unlock the world of reading for kindergarten students.

With its ingenious blend of stories, visuals, and sounds, Secret Stories transforms phonics into an exciting adventure.

Each secret story reveals the hidden connections between letters and sounds, empowering young learners to decode words with confidence and ease.

Through these captivating tales, students embark on a journey where the mysteries of language unravel before their eyes. As they uncover the secrets behind letters and their sounds, they gain the keys to unlock a lifelong love for reading. Secret Stories not only equips students with essential literacy skills but also ignites their imaginations, making learning an enchanting voyage of discovery.
