Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a full phonics curriculum or a supplement?
Secret Stories® is not a curriculum—it’s a brain-based teaching tool that works with any phonics or reading program to dramatically speed up skill acquisition
How quickly will I see results in my classroom?
Most teachers report noticeable improvements in decoding, spelling, and confidence within just 2–3 weeks of consistent use—especially when paired with the Better Alphabet™ song.
Can I use this with my existing reading program?
Yes! Secret Stories® was designed to seamlessly integrate with any existing curriculum. It fills the “phonics gap” by giving kids access to the entire code earlier, so they don’t get stuck memorizing sight words.
What grade levels is this best for?
The kit is ideal for PreK through Grade 3, but many intervention specialists, SPED teachers, and even adult literacy educators use it successfully with older learners.
Will this work for English Language Learners (ELLs)?
Absolutely. The visual mnemonics, movement, and storytelling make abstract phonics rules concrete—perfect for ELLs who need more than memorization to make sense of English sounds.
Do I need training to use this?
No formal training is required. The book includes a full teaching guide, and the tools are intuitive and flexible. That said, optional PD and workshops are available if you'd like to go deeper.
Is there a return policy?
Due to the digital download included and proprietary content inside the book, we’re unable to accept returns on the kit. But teachers consistently say it's the most valuable resource they’ve ever purchased for their classroom.
