Learning Camps

Our goal is to bring our evidence-based instruction to more families. Lindamood-Bell Learning Camps help make that goal a reality.

A Learning Camp is an extension of a Lindamood-Bell Learning Center that is open for a designated portion of the year and offers the instruction that you rely on and trust.

When many families in a community express interest in bringing Lindamood-Bell instruction to their area, we explore opening a Learning Camp in that area.

Depending on the needs of a community, the amount of time that a Learning Camp is open ranges from four weeks to twelve weeks or more.

Learn More About Our Instruction

Our instruction helps a wide range of individuals, children & adults, by developing the language processing
that is critical to becoming a proficient learner.

Problem

Difficulty with reading words on the page, recognizing sight words, reading fluency, and spelling. Students with these symptoms may be labeled as dyslexic.

Solution

Establish the underlying skills of symbol imagery, phoneme awareness, and orthographic processing.

Problem

Difficulty with understanding, remembering, inferring, following directions, and critical thinking from written and oral material.

Solution

Develop concept imagery to create mental representations for oral and written language. (Like making a movie in your mind’s eye.)

Problem

Difficulty holding math facts, functional concepts, as well as weak word problem solving skills.

Solution

Apply symbol and concept imagery to arithmetic and mathematical reasoning. This improves computational skills and the ability to solve word problems.

Lindamood-Bell does not diagnose, or label, any individuals we work with; however, many students have come to us with a previous diagnosis.

These self-reported labels have included:

Dyslexia, Hyperlexia, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) {Asperger’s Syndrome, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)}, Specific Learning Disability; Others:Down Syndrome, CAPD, Fragile X, TBI, Deaf, Gifted

Many adults experience weakness in one or more sensory-cognitive areas. These challenges may affect their work performance and limit their opportunities for advancement.

Instruction is differentiated and specific to the adult student’s need. Many of our adult students find great success.

“Lindamood-Bell has not only academically helped our daughter but she has a level of confidence we’d never seen before.”

🎉 40 Years of Changing Lives Through Learning

🧠 2011: Georgetown University researchers publish a study showing changes in the brains of children with dyslexia following reading intervention.

Our next milestone highlights research conducted by Georgetown University's Center for the Study of Learning in collaboration with Lindamood-Bell.

Published in the scientific journal NeuroImage, the study followed children with dyslexia who received eight weeks of instruction using the Seeing Stars® program.

Researchers found significant improvements in reading skills, along with measurable increases in gray matter volume in the brain. Follow-up testing eight weeks later showed that these gains were maintained.

These findings offered encouraging evidence that effective reading instruction can help children with dyslexia improve their reading skills while also supporting changes in the brain.

📖 Our next milestone takes us to 2010, when Nanci Bell published the Symbol Imagery (SI) Test.

This standardized assessment measures a student's ability to visualize the sounds and letters within words, an important skill for reading and spelling.

The SI Test helps educators identify and monitor skills that underlie word recognition, spelling, and reading fluency.

📚 2006: What happens when an entire school district works to improve reading?

In 2006, researchers from Texas A&M University published a study in the American Educational Research Journal examining reading achievement in Colorado’s Pueblo School District 60, where Lindamood-Bell had been working with schools since 1997 to support students at risk of reading difficulties.

They examined reading scores for students in grades 3–5 over several years and found that schools using Lindamood-Bell instruction made significantly greater gains than schools across Colorado. Those gains increased over time, including in Title I schools.

It was encouraging to see these results, especially in a district where so many students needed additional reading support.

🧠 2004: Georgetown University researchers publish an important study on adult dyslexia and Lindamood-Bell instruction.

Led by Dr. Guinevere Eden and published in the scientific journal Neuron, the study used brain imaging to examine changes in adults with dyslexia following eight weeks of intensive Lindamood-Bell instruction.

Researchers found improvements in reading skills along with changes in brain activity, showing that the adult brain can continue to change and develop with reading instruction.

More than 20 years later, these findings continue to offer hope for adults who struggle with reading.
