I used this approach from the very beginning of my career in 1972, before IEPs were required.Richardson ISD training Lindamood (LAC& ADD)and Goldman-Lynch Sound Symbol Development programs. Lindamood Auditory Conceptualization Test (LAC) was administered to all K and 1st grade students so just sent note to parents to sign it was ok to see the SLP.No wait, no meeting, just the parent signature. Using GLSSD 90% of 1st graders who failed were back in class by Dec. reading better than classmates.

The presenter explicitly detailed how reading is a language-based process and it relies on all five pillars (phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension to become an effective reader. She distinguished the difference between a child inherent ability for spoken language and how it impacts the complex cognitive skill of reading. Effective reading instruction needs to be systematic and explicitly taught, while mitigating the use of ineffective three cues.
