SIPPS: Evidence-Based, Systematic Decoding Instruction

SIPPS is an evidence-based, systematic decoding program. Through daily lessons and applied reading practice, readers develop automaticity, fluency, and accuracy, enabling them to focus on comprehension.

SIPPS uses an accelerative structured-literacy approach. In the program:

  • Students are assessed and placed into differentiated small groups for targeted instruction and support. 
  • Explicit instructional routines focus on phonological/phonemic awareness, spelling-sound correspondences, and reading and encoding decodable and high-frequency words.
  • Regular mastery tests allow teachers to monitor student progress and support their decision-making around pacing and reteaching.

SIPPS has met ESSA evidence standards and appears on the Evidence for ESSA site.
