For years, Lindamood-Bell has partnered with schools to provide quality professional development in our programs. We are happy to offer the lower cost and convenience of telepresence coaching without compromising results for students.
Watch teachers providing virtual instruction with the Seeing Stars program.
After a genuine Lindamood-Bell workshop, live coaching is available. Lindamood-Bell instruction experts, via online video conference, provide program step demonstrations with students, for the benefit of teacher learning. We provide suggestions and feedback to help improve teacher effectiveness. Having an expert “on-site” is an invaluable opportunity for teachers to ask questions about the program steps in real-time.
Results from an online reading camp demonstrate a promising model to replicate. By receiving Seeing Stars instruction over four weeks this summer, students made substantial gains correlating to nearly a year’s worth of grade-level growth in key reading skills.

Now more than ever, summer is a great time to catch up or get ahead with reading, comprehension, or math skills.

While much about this school year is uncertain, one thing’s for sure—months away from the classroom leads to measurable learning loss in skills like reading and math. This is especially true for students who struggle with learning.
Education researchers have long described the “summer slide.” Students come back to school out of practice, maybe forgetting some of what they learned. This year’s “COVID slide” is arguably worse.
An opinion article by The New York Times Editorial Board, The Coronavirus’s Lost Generation of Students raised concerns that the same type of learning loss is likely to occur during the COVID-19 pandemic for many children, regardless of learning difficulties. They cited a study by the Northwest Evaluation Association that suggests students returning to school this fall having made 30% less gain in reading skills and 50% less gain in math skills than in a typical year.
Lindamood-Bell is here to help. With our instruction for reading, comprehension, and math, your student can catch up or get ahead. You can rely on our experience and proven results to make a difference for your child. Identifying strengths and weaknesses is the first step.
Hear Fiona’s parents discuss their concerns and how Lindamood-Bell instruction was the solution.
A Learning Ability Evaluation will uncover the strengths and weaknesses affecting school performance. In a thorough results consultation, we will discuss an individualized learning plan to make school easier.

For decades, homeschool families have turned to Lindamood-Bell for help with language and literacy skills. We work with homeschool educators to make learning easier for their children. Families can continue to benefit from homeschool community resources—without needing to gain expertise in new subjects.
In these unprecedented times, we are pleased to also offer a helping hand to families who may be new to educating their children from home. Just like every student has unique learning needs, homeschool families require varying levels of support.
If your student has a weakness that affects learning, they may not get everything they should from your homeschool curriculum. A learning weakness is not only frustrating for a student, but prevents them from accessing school curriculum.
We believe that all individuals can be taught to read and comprehend to their potential. We identify strengths and weaknesses that may be affecting school performance in reading, comprehension, and math. Our instruction is based on an individual’s learning needs. Some students who come to us have a previous diagnosis such as dyslexia, autism, or a general learning challenge—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.
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 a Learning Center or online.
Strong readers recognize common words and can sound out unfamiliar words easily. This makes reading at grade level or above easy and not a chore.
Students who are currently struggling can learn to read to their potential. We identify why reading is hard for each student and develop the skills they need to become a better reader. Learn about our approach.
If your child is still learning to read, we can work on the basics that will make the transition to kindergarten or first-grade curriculum a breeze. We strengthen the imagery-language foundation for reading, spelling, and comprehension. Learn about how we help young learners here.
Do words “go in one ear and out the other” for your child? This is more common than you’d think. A weakness in concept imagery—the ability to image a gestalt (whole)—may be the cause. Weakness in concept imagery interferes with reading and listening comprehension, memory, oral vocabulary, critical thinking, and writing.
There are individual differences in the ability to visualize language—a key to good comprehension skills. We teach students how to “see movies when they read,” so they will get the big picture. Improving this skill will make many aspects of school easier. Learn more about how we develop comprehension here.
Does your child “hate” math? People who are good at math can visualize math concepts. The language of numbers turns into imagery and they “see” mathematical relationships. We teach students how to think with numbers. Learn how we solve math “problems” here. Individuals of all ages can learn to do and enjoy math!
Academic Prep is an enrichment program for students ready to advance in areas like writing, study skills, organization, and test-taking. Students benefit from our expertise in learning and cognition. One-to-one programs are tailor-made to address the academic needs of students.
Lindamood-Bell Online Instruction is located where each child needs to learn. This has worked well for homeschool families who live far from a center and for busy families with challenging schedules. Now, our ability to provide great virtual instruction and transition seamlessly between in-person and online instruction has ensured student progress.
Lindamood-Bell has been providing individualized live, online instruction since 2015! Our online instruction is evidence-based and proven effective, delivered via video conferencing hosted by Lindamood-Bell.
Instruction is live and one-to-one, with two-way interaction based on your child’s individual learning needs.
Families seeking a full school solution may enroll at Lindamood-Bell Academy, our accredited school. Our unique private school features 1:1 and small-group instruction in person or online. Students make progress in K-12 curriculum and benefit from our instructional expertise. We attract students of all levels, including gifted students and those who thrive in a non-traditional setting. The learning needs of each child are addressed so they are ready to learn. And they do.
Homeschool educators may learn the steps of our evidence-based program in a professional development workshop.

Before Lindamood-Bell Academy, Maher said, “I used to be really not great at reading. Until now!”
Maher had been struggling in school when his lead therapist recommended Lindamood-Bell Academy. Lindamood-Bell Academy is a unique school that addresses a student’s underlying learning ability while offering a full curriculum. Students in K-12th grade enroll in a blend of Lindamood-Bell instruction and academics. Individualized instruction is customized to each student’s learning profile.
Maher’s mother had been very concerned. She says, “He was slipping in his learning. He didn’t understand a lot of things.” The therapist encouraged the family to look into the Academy, convinced that it would make a big difference for Maher.
That was the turning point. Maher’s mom is certain that he’s understanding in ways he hadn’t previously. “The way he’s learning now he’s not going to forget.”
Now, thanks to instruction at the Academy, Maher’s excited about learning, he’s making progress, and his goal is to attend college!
Listen to Maher and his mom talk about academics, goals, and life.

Those who are new to Lindamood-Bell may be more familiar with traditional tutoring that takes place over the course of semesters or years. Because of that, our daily instruction, which changes reading or comprehension in a short period of time, may be unfamiliar. An intensive, daily learning environment can be ideal for many types of students: those who are struggling, those who are not performing to their potential, and those who want to get ahead. Lindamood-Bell pioneered the concept of intensive instruction—four hours per day, five days per week with our evidence-based instruction.
Nanci Bell, co-founder, explains daily intensive instruction in the following excerpt from Visualizing and Verbalizing for Language Comprehension and Thinking:
“The rate of learning gain can be improved with intensive intervention. Students with severe weakness in concept imagery may be years behind in language comprehension. For example, Johnny, a student in the fifth grade with reading comprehension at the second-grade level, has a three-year gap between his grade level and his reading comprehension. Even with adequate oral vocabulary and decoding skills, Johnny didn’t gain a year in reading comprehension for each year in school…intervention has to decrease the learning gap by increasing the rate of learning. To increase the rate of learning, you need to provide the right diagnosis and the right instruction, in the right environment. The last is often intensive intervention, four hours a day, five days a week, which results in years of gain in weeks of instruction.”
Parents may worry that their child will not be able to maintain focus for so many hours. We get it! Even the most disciplined student would have difficulty attending to a teacher for twenty hours per week of typical reading help.
Our continued success with students, including those with a previous diagnosis of a learning difficulty and/or attention issue, is due to our unique approach. We accurately assess individual needs and provide research-validated instruction in a safe, positive, focused environment. Lindamood-Bell sessions feature a high level of interaction, movement, games, and motivational rewards. Students work with a different instructor every hour to keep attention rate and intensity high and the sessions interesting. Our instructors are energetic and passionate about maximizing learning throughout every session. As a result, our students see success quickly and realize they can learn given the right tools!
Hear from Mary, a mom who enrolled 3 of her children in intensive instruction at Lindamood-Bell.
Summer is a great time to schedule intensive instruction, and catch up or get ahead for the next school year. Our instruction is based on the learning needs of each student. We can make a difference for students of all ages and abilities.
