SECRET STORIES® LETTER RUN
The Secret Stories® Letter Runs are the perfect way to help kids build speed and stamina for reading and writing. By skipping the letter names and focusing only on their sounds, the Letter Runs mimic the decoding process that occurs when reading words-which is to "see the letter and make the sound” as quickly as possible. The rapid pace also helps to increase automaticity of sound-symbol relationships, crucial to both reading and writing. But knowing the individual letter sounds is just HALF the battle. The other half is knowing the sounds letters make when they get together and DON'T do what they should! These are the “secret” sounds of the phonics code, known as Secret Stories®.
Secret Stories® are easy to remember, brain-based phonics stories that explain the sounds letters make when they get together, with pictures to help kids remember for reading and writing. When kids know the individual letter sounds AND their "secret” phonics sounds, they can read and write ANYTHING!

The Letter Sound Challenge Lyrics
Hi everyone, I'm Jack Hartmann
I'd like you to meet a dedicated educator and friend of mine, Katie Garner
Hi everyone, I'm Katie Garner and you may remember me from the better alphabet song
I did with Jack
I'm the author of Secret Stories® cracking the reading code and I'm excited because today
Jack is going to sing the Secret Stories® Letter Run Challenge
He is going to see how fast you can sing the letter sounds without the letter names and we're gonna go faster and faster and faster
At the end of this video I'm going to explain why this is so important to becoming a good reader and a good writer
And I'm also gonna share some secrets that will help too
So stay tuned
Look, listen and say out loud one by one the letter sounds
Do your best and sing out strong
Get ready for the Letter Sound Challenge Song
Let's do the letter runs

Woah, did you do it?
We had fun and you should be proud
You said 26 letter sounds
You did your best and said them strong
You did the Letter Sound Challenge Song
So how did it go?
Were you able to keep up with Jack?
It's pretty tricky isn't it?
And believe it or not we can make it even harder
All we have to do is switch it up
We can change the vowels out, so that they're long instead of short
So it's /ā/ /b/ /c/ /d/ /ē/ /f/ /g/ instead of /ă/ /b/ /c/ /d/ /ĕ/ /f/ /g/
We can change the tune, we can even sing it backwards
And all of the ways we play with it, deepen our ownership of the sound/ symbol relationships
that we need to read and write and built that automaticity
