The general sample initially consists of 117 five year old students. They comefrom middle sociocultural backgrounds and have no physical, psychological or sensory handicaps.A longitudinal design has been repeatedly used with four evaluation phases and three interventionphases, two variables (percentages of subjects at risk of LD and AA) and two sample groups (IG,NIG). Results indicate that, after three years, the percentage of subjects presenting LD in the groupreceiving instruction (IG) is lower than those in the group not receiving instruction (NIG). The subjectsfrom the IG also received better scores in AA than those in the NIG. These results show the long termeffectiveness of systematic and planned intervention of oral and written language at a young age as amethod for avoiding LD.
