This systematic review investigates the effects of phonemic awareness interventions [e.g., Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing (LiPS)] on phonological awareness, language, spelling, or reading outcomes in school-age children with language/learning disabilities.

Limited evidence was found to examine the effectiveness of the Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing (LiPS) in the areas of phonological awareness, language, spelling, or reading. More high quality research is needed to draw a firm conclusion on the effectiveness of any one intervention for students with language/learning disabilities. Cautious implementation is suggested.
