New Help for Homeschool Families

Jan 21, 2017
 
 

 

For decades, homeschool families have turned to Lindamood-Bell for help with language and literacy skills.  We are pleased to share a new, convenient way for you to easily incorporate genuine Lindamood-Bell instruction into your homeschool program!

 

Introducing Lindamood-Bell Online Instruction

Lindamood-Bell Online Instruction is located where each child needs to learn. This works well for our homeschool families who live far from a center and for busy families with challenging schedules.

 

What is Online Instruction?

Online Instruction is the same instruction students receive at our learning centers, delivered via the internet. Online instruction is personal, flexible and interactive!

It takes place via video conference meetings hosted by Lindamood-Bell. We connect with you from a Lindamood-Bell Learning Center and our instruction staff work with your student.  At home, a homeschool educator or other adult will perform the role of at-home facilitator.

  • Sensory-cognitive, intensive, one-to-one instruction for qualified students
  • Log in from home — instruction online
  • Need computer with camera and internet access sufficient for streaming video

Your local learning center can provide all the information you’ll need to get started.

 

Our Approach

We believe that all children and adults can be taught to read and comprehend to their potential. We identify strengths and weaknesses that may be be affecting school performance in reading, comprehension, and math. Our instruction is based on an individual’s learning needs. Some students come to us with previous diagnoses such as dyslexia, autism spectrum disorders, or general learning challenges—and we make a difference for each of them. Some students seek our help to enhance their skills or to just make learning easier—and we do.

 

Homeschool Enrichment

Sensory-Cognitive Instruction at Lindamood-Bell

If your student has a weakness that affects learning, they may not be getting everything they should from school. Students with poor comprehension, critical thinking, writing and memory may have weak concept imagery—the ability to create an imagined gestalt (whole) from language; students who are poor decoders and spellers, or slow readers, may have weak symbol imagery—the ability to visualize letters in words.

A learning weakness is not only frustrating for a student, but prevent them from accessing school curriculum. We start by identifying strengths and weaknesses that may be affecting performance in reading, comprehension, and math—and we make recommendations for individualized instruction plans that create learning gains. One-to-one instruction is available at the learning center or online.

Is your child having a hard time with math?
Math remediation is not about more worksheets or memorizing steps. It is a targeted, structured approach that identifies why a child is struggling and rebuilds the foundational skills needed for lasting understanding.
At Lindamood-Bell, our On Cloud Nine® program integrates imagery with language to help students connect math concepts to verbal reasoning. Students learn to understand the process behind the problem, strengthening both reasoning and computation.
