Lindamood-Bell® Learning Centers Informational Overview ©2014 Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes Learning Centers 56 US Locations 1 UK Location 3 Australia Locations 100+ SLCs Workshops & Conferences 5,000+ Teachers/Year Int’l Conference School Partnerships In Over 100 Schools Internationally Recognized ©2014 Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes Director and CEO Nanci Bell Milestones Co-founded Lindamood-Bell with Patricia Lindamood in 1986 Achieved AdvancEd accreditation June 2014 All Learning Centers owned, operated, and quality controlled by the original founders ©2014 Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes We believe, passionately, that children and adults can be taught to read and comprehend. We believe that sensory-cognitive functions are the first dominoes in language and literacy skills. We believe that imagery is a primary sensory-cognitive domino. ©2014 Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes Sensory-Cognitive Functions Phonemic Awareness (PA): the ability to perceive the identity, number, and sequence of sounds within words. Symbol Imagery (SI): the ability to create mental representations for sounds and letters within words. Concept Imagery (CI): the ability to create an imaged gestalt (whole) from oral or written language. ©2014 Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes Independence Self-Correct Monitor Sensory Input ©2014 Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes The K-12 Pipeline Weak language and literacy skills are the primary cause of failure to make one year of gain for one year of instruction. 12 CI SI 11 10 9 8 7 PA 6 5 4 weak language comprehension weak reading 3 2 1 K ©2014 Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes Weakness in sensory-cognitive functions underlies weakness in language and literacy skills.

Language Contextual Reading Vocabulary ©2014 Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes Sensory-cognitive functions are the first dominoes. Processing language is a cognitive act. Instruction in language and literacy should match a theory of cognition. ©2014 Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes Dual Coding Theory Allan Paivio created Dual Coding Theory (DCT), a general theory of cognition. “Performance is mediated by the joint activity of verbal and nonverbal systems…cognition is always an interplay between the verbal and nonverbal systems.” Paivio suggested that linguistic competence performance are based on a substrate of imagery. and “Individuals differ in the extent, manner, and efficiency of employment of each of the systems according to their verbal and nonverbal habits and skills.” ©2014 Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes Imagery and the Language Processing Spectrum Decoding Dyslexia Comprehension Hyperlexia/Autism Comprehension Auditory Visual Language Two types of imagery are needed for language processing: Symbol Imagery and Concept Imagery. ©2014 Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes Imagery and the Language Processing Spectrum Hyperlexia/Autism Dyslexia Lance CA: 16-2 years, 10th grade PPVT: 17-11 Mental Age Comprehension Auditory Visual Language Retained in second grade Struggled early to learn to read Always in summer school Taught with many different reading programs like: • Formula Phonics • Total Reading • Slingerland • Orton-Gillingham ©2014 Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes Lance Cannot decode but can comprehend.
