Those who are new to Lindamood-Bell may be more familiar with traditional tutoring and accommodations which are conducted over the course of semesters or years. Therefore, our daily instruction, that changes reading or comprehension in a short period of time, may be unfamiliar. An “intensive care” learning environment can be ideal for students who are…

Swipe for a blast from the past ➡️
Forty years ago, we set out with a belief that every child can learn to read when given the right tools.
Since then, we`ve witnessed the impossible become possible. Children once told they would “never be good readers” becoming fluent. Students finding confidence as they decode, comprehend, and even fall in love with books. Families moving from fear to relief to joy, sometimes in just weeks.
When Lindamood-Bell was founded in 1986, the science was still emerging. We built our work on the idea that reading is sensory-cognitive, that the brain must see and feel language to truly understand it.
Forty years later, the science is catching up.
And we are still here, watching minds change one learner at a time. Read more about the journey at the link in bio, @lindamoodbellofficial.
