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

📚 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.

Our next milestone takes us to 2002, when Lindamood-Bell reached another exciting first!

🇬🇧 2002: Our first international Learning Center opens in London, England.
The opening of our London Learning Center meant more children could benefit from individualized instruction to strengthen their reading and comprehension skills. It was another meaningful step in helping more students learn to their potential.

📰 1999: Lindamood-Bell is featured in a Newsweek cover story on dyslexia.

The November 22, 1999, issue of Newsweek featured “Dyslexia and the New Science of Reading,” exploring how research was changing our understanding of dyslexia and reading difficulties. 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.

What happens when phonics instruction has been tried, but reading is still difficult?

Join us for our free webinar, More Than Phonics: What Makes Lindamood-Bell Different, to learn why some students need more than decoding practice to become confident, independent readers.

We’ll explore why phonics alone may not address every student’s learning needs and how Lindamood-Bell develops the sensory-cognitive processes that underlie reading and comprehension.

📅 Thursday, October 15
🕙 10 a.m. PT | 1 p.m. ET | 6 p.m. BST

📖 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.

“He took off when he learned to read.”

Waseem struggled with reading throughout school. Then, through Kentwood Public Schools’ partnership with Lindamood-Bell, he received Seeing Stars® instruction from a teacher trained in the program.

Today, Waseem is a fourth-year medical student.

Hear Waseem share his journey and the impact learning to read had on his life.

📚 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.
