Nov. 18, 2023: REF's new monthly grant review process has a quick impact on Stillwater's Third Grade Team! Their grant proposal for The Secret Stories was approved on Monday night and already ordered by Friday!!What is The Secret Stories? In her grant proposal, Heather Nelson explains how this interactive word sound wall will support students in their study of phonics. It will be used as individuals, as a whole class and in small groups. It will provide meaningful and engaging stories. It gives students instant access to all sounds by putting meaning and explanation to when letters are combined to make a new sound and/or new word part meaning!Learning to read is hard work and this sounds like a fun way to build those needed skills!
