*Please note that this product does NOT include the Secret Stories® Class Kit (w/book, posters or musical download) OR the editable Secretable® Digital Stickers product embedded in the words.

The purpose of the Secret Stories® is to demonstrate how all the words your students encounter every day are decodable, and if kids know the Secrets, they can READ all the words around them every day without having to wait several grade level years to learn each piece of the phonics code.

The Secrets explain the sounds letters make when they get together in words, with posters to help kids remember for independent reading and writing—making for the ideal “SOUND WALL!” The Secrets aren’t skills, they’re just stories that kids ALREADY know, based on behaviors they ALREADY understand. With the Secrets, kids don’t have to MEMORIZE words, they can just READ them….even in kindergarten!
