Secret curriculum code#

It’s not until the end of second (and sometimes third) grade that learners gain access to the “whole” code needed to read and write. To Accelerate Early Learner-Access to the “Whole” CodeĬore reading series and phonics programs parcel-out critical pieces of the code that kids need to read and write.

Supplementing Reading and Phonics Curriculum with Secret Stories® You’re already reading AND writing all day long, but what are kids reading and writing with? Why not give kids the Secrets they need to READ them instead? You’re already practicing the sight words that kids need to memorize. You’re already “reading” lunch menus and hallway signs. Why not give kids the Secrets they need to read them independently? Why not share the Secrets that are in unknown words? Why not look for Secrets that make the sounds kids see and hear in words? Why not share the Secrets you used to help spell the words you wrote? Why not stop and share the Secret that’s in the tricky word you just read? Why not give kids the Secrets they need to actually READ the words that are on it?

You’re already doing the calendar every day. “Miracles become common and consistent when you teach with the brain in mind.” - Eric Jensen And it’s easy… just do what you’re already doing, but with the Secrets! While it may seem impossible that kids could actually own more of the code in less time and with less effort than it takes to do ‘letter-of-the-week’ in kindergarten, it’s not. Secret Stories® fast-track the phonics skills kids NEED to read and write!
