Lindamood-Bell Reading Programs

  • Talkies® 
  • Program for Oral Language Comprehension & Expression
  • The Talkies® program, a prerequisite of the Visualizing and Verbalizing (V/V) program is designed for students who need the imagery-language connection broken down into simpler steps, especially for students with limited oral vocabulary and/or limited ability to verbalize. The main goal of the program is to develop the dual coding imagery and language as a base for language comprehension and expression.
  • Visualizing and Verbalizing® (V/V®)
  • Program for Cognitive Development, Comprehension, & Thinking
  • The Visualizing and Verbalizing® (V/V®) program develops concept imagery as a basis for language comprehension and higher order thinking. The development of concept imagery improves reading and listening comprehension, memory, oral vocabulary, critical thinking, and writing.
  • Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing® (LiPS®)
  • Program for Reading, Spelling, and Speech

Students then use these skills to identify and sequence sounds within words. Once established, phonemic awareness is then applied to reading, spelling, and speech.
  • Seeing Stars® 
  • Program for Symbol Imagery for Phonological and Orthographic Processing in Reading and Spelling.
