Using these story based explanations helps makes understanding phonics fun and intuitive. When introducing the stories we closed the doors and made sure we were keeping the \"secrets\" . Students were so excited and couldn't wait to hear the stories. Incorporating gentures also made the secrets even more engaging and help students easily embed the strategies into thier reading.
