Event Description

SIPPS 4th Edition Overview Training with Modeling and Guided Practice

This full-day training is designed for educators new to the SIPPS program, those considering implementation, and current users seeking a refresher. Participants will build a solid foundation in the principles of structured literacy and explore how SIPPS aligns with the Science of Reading (SoR).

Through both whole-group learning and level-specific sessions, attendees will engage with SIPPS content, routines, materials, and research-based instructional strategies that accelerate foundational skills for all learners. 

The training will be collaborative and hands-on, incorporating modeling, video demonstrations, and time for guided practice. Attendees will leave with the tools and confidence to begin or deepen their SIPPS implementation.

Intended Audience:

  • K–12 educators and interventionists
  • Reading specialists and instructional coaches
  • New and returning SIPPS users

Participants will:

  • Learn about SIPPS instruction across the levels.
  • Review the SIPPS program lesson structure.
  • Develop a method for practicing routines to build toward mastery.
  • Practice the instructional routines with colleagues.
