Lindamood-Bell is committed to teaching children and adults to read and comprehend to their potential. We have dedicated ourselves to refining and researching our instruction in language and literacy processing. The result is research-validated instruction that you can believe in.
Lindamood-Bell is an international literacy organization that offers specific evidence-based programs to address decoding and comprehension skills, thereby positively affecting academic performance. Lindamood-Bell's programs develop the sensory-cognitive processes that underlie reading and comprehension. Instruction is based on the individual's learning needs. The company delivers instruction in learning centers that are stand alone or within schools, in online environments, and in schools throughout the USA.
Teacher professional development
Family is encouraged to be involved in the tutoring and center.
