School Partnerships
Lindamood-Bell has extensive experience in partnering with schools to increase student achievement. We help educators provide evidence‑based, sensory‑cognitive instruction as a basis for developing phonemic awareness, phonics, orthographic awareness, fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension.
Our partnerships with schools have succeeded in closing the achievement gap by providing explicit, cumulative and systematic instruction in this methodology. We have substantial evidence of effectiveness with turning around low-performing schools and increasing reading proficiency with struggling readers, including students with dyslexia and in special education.
Profiles of Success
View the case studies below featuring schools that are making a difference for their at-risk learners, one assessment at a time.
Fort Smith Public Schools
Dyslexia Initiative
Since 2017, Fort Smith Public Schools in Arkansas has successfully implemented Lindamood-Bell interventions for k-2 students with, or at risk for dyslexia.
Over 300 teachers have been trained in the programs and the district significantly reduced the number of students performing tin the lowest tier on the IStation universal screener.
FULTON COUNTY SCHOOLS
Transforming Special Education
Fulton County Schools in Georgia serves a large percentage of students who are at-risk of reading failure. During the 2019- 20 school year, Fulton County implemented Lindamood-Bell® instruction to address the specific needs of its Special Education students. 263 students received 1 semester of small-group Seeing Stars instruction to develop symbol imagery for reading. Instruction was delivered by Fulton County teachers who received professional development in the programs created by Lindamood-Bell’s founders. Student gains were measured with the iReady Reading Assessment.
Haskin Elementary School
Turnaround Success!
From 2010-2014, Lindamood-Bell helped turn around one of the lowest performing Title 1 schools in Colorado.
In just four years, reading proficiency increased from 31% proficient to 70% proficient for this high poverty (91% F/R Lunch) and high English learner (50+% EL) population.

The article highlighted Lindamood-Bell’s unique sensory-cognitive approach to developing the underlying skills needed for reading and spelling.
This exciting milestone brought national attention to our work and new hope to students and families facing reading challenges.

📖 1998: The Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing® (LiPS®) Program is published.
Lindamood-Bell co-founder and speech-language pathologist Patricia Lindamood and her daughter, Phyllis Lindamood, revised the Auditory Discrimination in Depth (ADD) program and published the Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing® Program for Reading, Spelling, and Speech (LiPS®).
The LiPS® Program helps students develop phonemic awareness by teaching them to discover and label the mouth movements that produce speech sounds. Students learn to identify and sequence sounds in words, then apply those skills to reading, spelling, and speech.

📚 1997: Two new programs become part of the Lindamood-Bell story.
Nanci Bell published Seeing Stars®, designed to develop symbol imagery, the ability to visualize letters and words for reading and spelling. Long overlooked in literacy instruction, symbol imagery addresses what is a missing piece for many struggling readers.
Nanci Bell and Kimberly Tuley also published On Cloud Nine® Math, designed to develop numerical imagery for number sense and mathematical reasoning.
Nearly 30 years later, both programs remain core to Lindamood-Bell instruction and our commitment to helping students learn to their potential.
