SIPPS

SIPPS, which stands for Systematic Instruction in Phonological Awareness, Phonics, and Sight Words, is designed to help new and struggling readers develop foundational reading skills. It's a structured literacy approach that focuses on explicit and systematic instruction in phonological awareness, phonics, and sight words. SIPPS is used to address reading gaps and accelerate progress for students, including multilingual learners, by targeting specific decoding needs.

Elements of Strong Instructional Routines.  Routines are based on the 4Cs

• • • The instruction is clear. 

    • The predictable, consistent routines make the students feel safe and confident.  They know what to expect. 

    • The instruction is concise.  Extraneous teacher talk is limited, and student talk is maximized.  The teacher guides the students to do the thinking and the work.

    • The teacher guides the students to respond chorally in every component of the lesson and does not elicit invidual responses.  Because most responses involve choral responses, the students are actively engaged and the teacher can assess student performance efficiently.
