What’s Included

Made to match the Secret Stories® Classroom Kit with the book, posters & music download to teach Secret Stories®!

The Secret Stories® Tropical Sunset Flashcards have the Secret Story embedded mnemonic sound image on the front and an abridged “story-starter” version of the phonics story on the back for quick reference. (Note: The flashcards do NOT include the complete stories with “next-most likely” sound defaults that are in the book.)

They are a perfect “cheat-sheet” for hands-on teaching on-the-go and portable play!

PHONICS POSTERS, BOOK, & MUSIC “SOUND-SKILL” DRILL PHONICS SONGS DOWNLOAD ARE NOT INCLUDED

*Please note that the Flashcards are intended to work WITH the Secret Stories® Classroom Kit, not in place of it. The letter size on the cards is too small for student reference when reading/writing, and they do not have the “complete” stories (with the “next most likely” sound defaults), nor the musical sound-skill drills needed to automate the sounds.

DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SECRET STORIES® CLASS KIT WITH THE BOOK, POSTERS, & MUSIC DOWNLOAD
