PPIP incorporates key phonemic and phonics best practices instruction into its design. First, it is multi-sensory in its approach, incorporating body movements, with sight and sound activities. Second, the program uses a systematic approach to learning, and presents concepts in a logical order. Material is presented in a sequential manner and as we get deeper into the program content, builds on previously learned concepts. Third, the instruction is highly structured, and relies of a group of core activities that are repeated throughout all of the lessons. Finally, the instruction is explicit, in that precise directions are provided for each instructional activity, ensuring consistency in its application from one classroom teacher to another, yielding consistent results across schools. Each of these features will be discussed in greater detail below.
