Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes
About the CPD course
One of the primary goals of the Talkies course is to make class members aware of the specific sensory-cognitive function basic to language comprehension and critical thinking. Participants will learn the role of concept imagery in oral language comprehension and oral language expression for all ages of students in one-to-one; small-group; and classroom settings. Information and techniques are gained through discussion; demonstration; video; reading; and supervised practice. Study and supervised practice allows class members to learn Socratic questioning to develop sensory-cognitive functions; and integrate the steps into any curriculum; reading programme; language arts programme; and all content instruction.
Founded in 1986 and in the UK since 2002, Lindamood-Bell has pioneered evidence-based programmes that develop the imagery-language foundation underlying reading, spelling, language comprehension, maths, memory, and critical thinking. Aligned with the Cognitive Science of Reading from the start, Lindamood-Bell for Schools offers Levels of CPD, from initial workshops and on-demand refinement courses to live in-classroom support and advanced instructional leadership development. We believe, passionately, that all children and adults can be taught to read, comprehend, and do maths to their potential.
