- Itemized quotes, POs, and W-9s handled within one business day
A supplement that works across every school without a rollout
District literacy decisions carry a cost most vendors do not mention, which is the implementation load. A new program means training days, coaching cycles, fidelity monitoring and a year of disruption before you know whether it worked. That cost is often what stops a promising resource from reaching classrooms.
Secret Stories® is deliberately different. It supplements whatever core program each school already runs, requires no scope and sequence change, and takes a teacher minutes rather than days to begin using. That makes it viable across schools that have adopted different curricula, which is the usual constraint at district level.
Deploy without displacing anything
Schools keep the core program they have already invested in and trained on. Nothing is removed, so nothing needs re-teaching.
Train in a session, not a school year
Professional learning runs 3 to 5.5 hours, in person or virtual, and can be shared across multiple schools with 30 days of unlimited staff access.
Fund it through existing literacy budgets
Title I, ESSER successors and state literacy funds routinely cover it. Quotes, W-9 and vendor documentation are available without a call.
Getting 6 year olds to just memorize reading rules was so difficult and felt so inappropriate for their attention spans. Secret Stories really turned everything around! They start seeing secrets in texts around the classroom and then I start to get messages from parents telling me how they are doing it at home as well.
