Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing (LIPS) 

Program description

Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing (LIPS)® is a 1-1 or small-group tutoring program that focuses on phonological awareness and decoding practice. The program aids students in developing the lip, tongue, and mouth actions needed to produce specific sounds, direct instruction in letter patterns, sight words, and context clues in reading books with phonetically controlled vocabulary. LiPS® is intended for between 20 and 50 minutes per day of implementation with typical readers in kindergarten through grade 3 or with struggling readers. Both print and computer-supported reading activities are included in the program.

Student population

Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing® has been examined in Kindergarten 1st, 2nd, and 4th grades with Black and White students at-risk for reading disability across socio-economic strata.

Current evidence

Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing® has been rated as Strong by Evidence for ESSA (https://www.evidenceforessa.org/programs/reading/lindamood-phoneme-sequencing-lips) for students in grades K-2nd grades. The What Works Clearinghouse rated LiPS® as having mixed effects for alphabetics and potentially positive effects for comprehension in 1st grade (https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/Docs/InterventionReports/wwc_lindamood_111015.pdf) and 4th grade the WWC rated LiPS® as having potentially positive effects on Alphabetics and Reading Fluency, and no discernable effects on Comprehension (https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/Docs/InterventionReports/wwc_lindamood_031610.pdf).

Leveled Literacy Intervention

Program description

The Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI) program uses a short-term, supplementary, small-group tutoring model to help struggling readers in grades K-2 reach grade level competency. Instruction is designed to be 30 minutes per day, 5 days per week to provide instructional support for phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, reading comprehension, oral language skills, and writing. Lessons are given between 16 and 18 weeks and are matched to a student’s reading ability through the Fountas & Pinnell Benchmark Assessment System (BAS). Lessons alternate between independent level texts which students can read without much difficulty and more challenging instructional level texts.

Student population

Leveled Literacy Intervention has been examined in Kindergarten through 2nd grade in rural, urban, and suburban settings. Participants included Black, White, and Hispanic struggling readers in primarily low socio-economic status settings (84% eligible for free or reduced price lunch).

Current evidence

Leveled Literacy Intervention has been rated as Strong by Evidence for ESSA (https://www.evidenceforessa.org/programs/reading/fountas-pinnell-leveled-literacy-intervention-lli) for students in grades K-2nd. The What Works Clearinghouse rated Leveled Literacy Intervention as having potentially positive effects for Reading Fluency, positive effects for general reading ability, and no discernable effects for Alphabetics (https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/Docs/InterventionReports/wwc_leveledliteracy_091917.pdf) in grades K-2nd.
