Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a full phonics curriculum or a supplement?
Secret StoriesĀ® is not a curriculumāitās 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 2ā3 weeks of consistent useāespecially when paired with the Better Alphabet⢠song.
Can I use this with my existing reading program?
Yes! Secret StoriesĀ® was designed to seamlessly integrate with any existing curriculum. It fills the āphonics gapā by giving kids access to the entire code earlier, so they donāt get stuck memorizing sight words.
What grade levels is this best for?
Secret StoriesĀ® works for all reading and writing levels; however, our kits are ideal for PreK through Grade 3. Many intervention specialists, SPED teachers, and even adult literacy educators also 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 concreteāperfect 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, weāre unable to accept returns on the kit, bundle, or book. But teachers consistently say it's the most valuable resource theyāve ever purchased for their classroom.
