October is Dyslexia Awareness Month!

Oct 2, 2024
 
 

For Dyslexia Awareness Month, we are again sharing our belief that all individuals can be taught to learn to their potential—including those with a previous diagnosis of dyslexia.

View our video to learn more about how we help students with dyslexia learn to their potential.

 

Our Experience and Results

For nearly four decades, Lindamood-Bell has worked with thousands of individuals. Our success with students is due to our unique approach and evidence-based, sensory-cognitive instruction.

The Seeing Stars® program addresses the learning needs of students with dyslexia. Seeing Stars develops symbol imagery, the ability to visualize letters in words. Symbol imagery is integral to independence in sounding out new words, recognizing common words, spelling, and fluent contextual reading. 

Students with a Prior Dyslexia Diagnosis Who Received Decoding Instruction Only

Average Age: 10.2

Average Hours of Instruction:  121.6

Number of Students: 2,483

On average, students with a prior Dyslexia diagnosis who received Seeing Stars instruction achieved significant improvements in reading. They made large (statistically significant) standard score changes on seven of nine measures. (Vocabulary was not a targeted measure of instruction.) The 20-point percentile increase in Word Recognition put these students well within the normal range (25th–75th percentile). The large average standard score change in Paragraph Reading Accuracy should also be noted.

 

Is Dyslexia Permanent?

Researchers from the Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences, University of Washington, have published peer-reviewed research on dyslexia that explores how intensive intervention drives the growth of reading skills in struggling readers.

Dr. Jason Yeatman, one of the study’s researchers, says that although dyslexia is often considered permanent, the findings indicate that the targeted, intensive instruction leads to “substantial” improvements in reading skills and changes in the “underlying wiring of the brain’s reading circuitry.”

Improved symbol imagery changes how students read and spell, regardless of their ages or their struggles with literacy—including students with dyslexia. Numerous peer-reviewed articles based on studies examining the effectiveness of Lindamood-Bell instruction with dyslexic students have been published in scholarly journals – Summary of Behavioral & Neurological Research—Dyslexia
