FOR PRINCIPALS & SCHOOL LEADERS
Scale Literacy Gains Across Every Classroom
One building, one shared phonics language. Secret Stories® is the ESSA Level 1 resource schools deploy without replacing existing curriculum or retraining from scratch.
- ESSA Level 1 evidence satisfies the strictest funding requirements
- Title I, Title III, ESSER, IDEA, and state literacy grant eligible
- Teachers adopt it willingly because it lightens their load instead of adding to it
Something your teachers will actually use after the first week
Most literacy purchases follow the same arc. Enthusiasm in August, a training day in September, and by November the materials are in a cupboard because the implementation cost outweighed what teachers got back. The deciding factor is almost never quality, it is whether a teacher can use it without rearranging their day.
Secret Stories® survives that test because the barrier to starting is close to zero. A teacher posts the set and tells a Secret when a pattern comes up. There is no fidelity checklist, no pacing guide, and nothing that makes a busy teacher feel behind, which is why adoption tends to hold.
Equip classrooms, not a program binder
Each Class Kit covers one room. Teachers own it, it stays up all year, and there is nothing to distribute or collect.
Give teachers a shared language
When every classroom uses the same Secrets, students carry the explanations between grades and staff can reference them across a building.
Add professional learning if you want it
A 3 hour or 5.5 hour workshop with Katie Garner, in person or virtual, with 30 days of unlimited staff access and a certificate of hours.
Introducing the stories is always a special part of my day! My students absolutely love learning all the stories, and they actually work! I introduce the secrets the first week of school by having our SRO deliver Word Detective badges and help us with our SS pledge. It's an amazing way to get students excited for all the stories to come!
