- Stories and songs replace flashcard battles and tears
- Pairs with whatever your child is learning at school instead of fighting it
For parents who want to help without teaching it wrong
Most parents helping a child with reading are working from how they were taught themselves, which for many was memorising words on sight. When a child asks why cake does not rhyme with back, the honest answer most of us have is that it just does, and that answer teaches a child to guess.
Secret Stories® gives you the real reason, in language a child accepts immediately. You do not need to understand phonics terminology or match what the school is doing. You need one good explanation ready when your child gets stuck, and that is what this provides.
Learn the Secret before your child needs it
Each one takes a minute to read. You are not learning a system, you are collecting explanations you can hand over at the right moment.
Use it during the reading you already do
Bedtime books, homework, signs in the car. The Secrets work in real reading, which is where confidence is actually built or lost.
Let your child teach it back
Children who explain a Secret to a sibling or a grandparent have genuinely retained it. That is a better check than any worksheet.
This will be year 10 of teaching kindergarten students how to read. I have never personally used Secret Stories. However, two of my personal children have had a tutor use Secret Stories with them in their sessions and I have seen the improvement in their reading skills from using them!
