Lindamood-Bell Intervention A Pathway to Enhanced Reading Skills in Pupils

  A systematic literature review and a meta-analysis examined the effectiveness of Lindamood-Bell intervention in improving the reading skills of elementary school students with diverse learning needs.  The literature consistently showed positive effects of the intervention on enhancing reading proficiency, with improvements in accuracy, decoding skills, comprehension, and overall academic performance. The intervention’s multi-cognitive sensory…

Reading intervention targeting phonemic awareness and symbol imagery in children with sickle cell disease

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital implemented a summer reading clinic for children with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) using the Lindamood-Bell intervention. The results showed significant improvements in phonological and symbol imagery skills, suggesting the efficacy of the summer reading intervention for children with SCD. There are implications for extending this intervention to students with other…

“The Giant Black Elephant with White Tusks Stood in a Field of Green Grass”: Cognitive and brain mechanisms underlying aphantasia

The cognitive role of individual differences in imagery generation, the ability to visualize, is critical for human cognition, especially in language comprehension. Aphantasia, a recently identified spectrum of difficulties in visualizing mental images, has become increasingly known in research on cognitive processing. In collaboration with researchers from the University of Alabama, Lindamood-Bell has co-authored a…

The Virtuous Cycle between Education and Neuroscience

Educational neuroscience was born out of the promise that brain imaging would generate discoveries that change how we educate our children. Many neuro-scientists and educators alike feel that this promise has not been fulfilled and have begun to question the utility of this nascent field that is arising at the intersection of two well-established disciplines….

Current Efficacy Research for the Seeing Stars® Program

Seeing Stars is a comprehensive program that teaches phoneme-grapheme correspondence based on the alphabetic structure of the English language. The theoretical basis for this program is grounded on the tenets of Dual Coding Theory (DCT), addressing the dual role of sound and symbol imagery. DCT serves as the best evidence-based theory in cognitive science to…

Current Efficacy Research for the Visualizing and Verbalizing® Program (V/V)

The Visualizing and Verbalizing® (V/V®) program develops concept imagery – the ability to create mental representations from language – as a basis for comprehension and higher order thinking. V/V is based on the tenets of Dual Coding Theory, which states that cognition requires an interplay between two systems—a verbal system specialized for language, and a…

What is phoneme awareness, and why does it matter for learning to read?

Many people know phoneme awareness is important, but fewer understand how it fits into the bigger picture of reading development. Our latest blog explains what phoneme awareness is, how it differs from phonics, signs a student may need support, and why successful reading depends on more than phoneme awareness alone.
Whether you`re a parent or educator, this guide offers practical insights into the sensory-cognitive functions that support reading.
