Lindamood-Bell for Schools now features online professional development for educators that is innovative, interactive and relevant for today’s classroom.


Lindamood-Bell has been involved with research for over 30 years.
Our continued success is due to our unique approach, including our evidence-based, sensory-cognitive instruction.

We actively take part in peer-reviewed studies. We have partnered with such institutions as Georgetown University, MIT, and Wake Forest University to conduct neurological and behavioral research. To maintain our exceptional standard of quality, we internally monitor student results at our learning centers, our Academy, and at our school partnerships.

The research consistently proves that Lindamood-Bell instruction changes the brain functions underlying language and literacy skills. These brain functions continue to improve after our instruction has ended.


Tallulah was struggling at school and wasn’t able to read despite being extremely bright. Her mother describes how Lindamood-Bell instruction changed their family’s life: “She took a final assessment at the end, and the results were just incredible. More than what I had hoped for.”

At Lindamood-Bell, we develop the imagery-language foundation that underlies reading, spelling, language comprehension, math, memory, and critical thinking. We believe in the potential of your child and we want to make your big dreams come true.

Ever wonder what it’s like to go to Lindamood-Bell? One of our students, Bryn, shows you around the Learning Center. She let’s you know who’s who and what the instruction days look like. This is a great inside scoop for students of all ages who are planning or thinking about instruction at any of our locations in the US or Internationally.


A family finds that they are able to preserve precious time together by receiving Lindamood-Bell instruction online.

With online instruction, we connect with you from a Lindamood-Bell Learning Center and our instruction staff works with your student. Online instruction is available for every Lindamood-Bell program and works well for busy families with challenging schedules or families too far away from one of our Learning Centers.


Two students share their experience with the testing process to evaluate their reading, spelling, vocabulary, comprehension, math, and other language processing skills.

Both entertaining and detailed, two sisters explain the process of the tests and help explain the significance of Lindamood-Bell’s expert approach to literacy development.


Lee and Michelle knew their kids needed reading help and didn’t want to see “just a little bit of gain.” They explain why they chose daily, intensive intervention and fill us in on the results!

Lindamood-Bell Learning Centers offer intensive instruction because of the cognitive benefit. Constant, explicit daily stimulation is important in order to develop and establish the imagery-language connection–and change learning.

At Lindamood-Bell, we develop the imagery-language foundation that underlies reading, spelling, language comprehension, math, memory, and critical thinking. We believe in the potential of your child and we want to make your big dreams come true.


For more than 30 years, Lindamood-Bell has been passionate about making a difference in the lives of students. We have now expanded that passion to Lindamood-Bell Academy, our accredited K-12 private school.

Lindamood-Bell Academy is a learning adventure like no other! We develop the imagery-language foundation for language and literacy skills, and success with all school curriculum. Students can attend our flexible campus in-person or online. And, each student has a skilled team dedicated to his or her academic plan!


Lindamood-Bell Academy is a private school that features individualized instruction at our locations and/or online. It is an excellent solution for students grades K-12 who thrive in a non-traditional teaching environment. Our Academy combines Lindamood-Bell expertise with curriculum. The learning needs of each child are addressed so they are ready to learn.

“He’s set up for success now!” 💙

Jaxson was diagnosed with autism and dyslexia at a young age. By high school, he was still struggling academically. His family turned to Lindamood-Bell for intensive, individualized instruction.

Today, Jaxson is thriving in reading and comprehension and preparing for college! He can even read and enjoy the golf magazines he once only looked through for pictures.

Hear Jaxson’s mom share his inspiring journey and what his progress has meant for their family.

🧠 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.
