What Arizona Educators Say About SIPPS
I appreciate how easy it’s been for our beginning teachers and ESPs to implement. SIPPS does a great job supporting acquisition of grade-level foundational skills in a concise format, along with providing consistent routines and cues that maximize student learning.
—Laura Mayer, MOWR (Move on When Reading) Specialist, Cartwright School District
[SIPPS is] far better than anything else I have seen at targeting foundational reading skills in a way students can understand. Teachers have noticed that the students do so well with the routines and structure, they know what to expect next! It’s really a brilliant program.
—Jessica Zimmerman, Instructional Coach at Valley View Leadership Academy in Roosevelt School District
SIPPS has solidified my trust in research-based, explicit phonics instruction in teaching students to read.
—Jessica Witmer, Reading Specialist at Gavilan Peak in Deer Valley USD
