Improve skills needed for the NAPLAN exam!

Jan 29, 2025
 
 

 

Whether your child is taking the NAPLAN this year, is struggling with learning, or just needs school to be easier, we can help improve their skills and confidence.

Our evidence-based instruction is available live-online or in person. In a matter of weeks, we help students catch up or get ahead in the literacy and numeracy skills needed for the NAPLAN exam and future school success.

Enrichment at Lindamood-Bell

Students looking to enhance or accelerate learning can benefit from our expertise in specific areas, such as writing, study skills, and test-taking. Students can attend an enrichment program to advance their reading comprehension or math skills. 

We teach:  

  • Note-taking
  • Writing
  • Study Skills
  • Test-taking strategies
  • Organization skills

Get the Imagery-Language Foundation

Students who struggle in school and on tests like NAPLAN may have an unidentified weakness or weaknesses affecting learning. Students with poor comprehension, critical thinking, writing, or memory may have weak concept imagery—the ability to create an imagined gestalt (whole) from language. Students who are poor decoders, spellers, or slow readers may have weak symbol imagery—the ability to visualize letters in words. These difficulties are frustrating for students and can prevent them from accessing the school curriculum.

Our unique, personalized instruction can make a difference. Students can make years of progress in just a matter of weeks, attending either online or at the Learning Center. We offer:

  • Individualized learning plans
  • One-to-one instructor/student ratio
  • Evidence-based programs
  • Welcoming, comfortable environment for all ages

Identifying strengths and challenges is the first step toward helping your child successfully finish the school year.

If your child is struggling with math, it may not be because they are not trying hard enough. When math doesn’t make sense, students may resort to memorization rather than truly understanding what they are doing.
At the root, many struggle to form clear mental images of mathematical concepts, making it harder to see relationships, follow processes, and solve problems with confidence.
