The SIPPS (Systematic Instruction in Phonological Awareness, Phonics, and Sight Words) Challenge Level: Teacher’s Manual Challenge Level teaching manual is an advanced foundational literacy manual specifically engineered for students in Grades 2 through 12 who have mastered basic and intermediate phonics but struggle with complex, multi-syllabic text. This Fourth Edition focuses on polysyllabic decoding, teaching students to systematically break down words into morphemes (roots, prefixes, and suffixes) and syllables. By providing explicit, scripted routines for identifying syllable types and structural analysis, the curriculum bridges the gap between basic literacy and the dense academic vocabulary required for middle and high school success. It is a critical tool for Tier 2 and Tier 3 intervention, particularly for older students and English Language Learners.
