SIPPS, Fifth Edition (K–12)

Approved by the Utah State Department of Education

SIPPS® Fifth Edition—our accelerative foundational skills program for grades K–12—has been reviewed by the Utah State Board of Education and earned a near-perfect score on the Evidence-Informed Core Criteria Checklist.

Explore SIPPS

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.
