A School Partnership was established with EIS in 2011, which has involved at least five of our staff members traveling to Honduras. This partnership includes training teachers in Lindamood-Bell’s programs, mentoring and consulting teachers, and overseeing the implementation of our programs with a total of 247 students.
A new video highlights how a large, urban school district partnered with Lindamood-Bell’s Learning Center on Campus to help children learn to read and comprehend. Click the link below to watch.
Kodiak Island Borough Schools in Alaska connect with Lindamood-Bell on-site every day. We provide job-embedded professional development to educators, and more opportunities for students. We are proud to have this cost-effective way to meet the needs of this unique community!
For some scientists and researchers, understanding what enables children to learn to read is their mission, and recently, a peer-reviewed study has provided new knowledge about the brain and reading.
A new era of instruction options from Lindamood-Bell is happening. Expanding across the country are the new instruction robots to help us provide direct instruction in schools with minimal expense. Read Article from Chippewa Valley, Wisconsin.

📚 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.

📰 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.

📖 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.
