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.
