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.

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.

📰 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.

📖 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.
