Why Literacy Reform Keeps Failing and What Actually Works | Lindamood-Bell

Description:

For four decades, well-intentioned literacy reforms have promised to fix America’s reading crisis—from A Nation at Risk in 1983 to the current Science of Reading movement. Yet, despite these efforts, scores from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) continue to fall. Why haven’t these reforms worked?

Paul Worthington, Director of Research and Development at Lindamood-Bell, explores why reading instruction—even approaches grounded in the Science of Reading—often misses the mark. This webinar will examine the root causes behind decades of stalled progress and reveal the essential, often-overlooked skills that truly drive reading success.

We discuss:

• Why past reforms have failed to deliver results

• The cognitive processes most reading programs overlook

• How Lindamood-Bell helps students achieve real, measurable gains in literacy

At Lindamood-Bell, we develop the imagery-language foundation for reading, spelling, language comprehension, math, memory, and critical thinking.
