Scope and Sequence

SIPPS supports new and striving readers in grades K–12. Each level corresponds to a specific stage of reading development: simple alphabetic, spelling pattern, and polysyllabic/morphemic.

Beginning Level addresses kindergarten foundational skills standards and provides intervention for students in grades 1–3.

Challenge Level addresses foundational skills standards for grades 2 and 3. It provides intervention for students in grades 3–12.

Extension Level addresses grade 1 foundational skills standards and provides intervention for students in grades 2–3.

SIPPS Plus addresses the simple alphabetic and spelling-pattern phases of foundational skills instruction and is uniquely designed for intervention instruction for students in grades 4–12. Upon completion of Plus, students should move into SIPPS Challenge.
