Reseña del libro "The Optikodes Answer: The Breakthrough Learning Program for Struggling Students (en Inglés)"
Have you ever wondered why some kids in school sail through English, but not science? Or why some children are natural-born athletes, while others have above-average artistic ability? It turns out that each of us is a specialized learner-far more specialized than we realize. This book shares an important new learning technology that has the power to get every struggling child on track and headed toward success. In The OptiKodes Answer, Kimberley Blackburn shows how the traditional education system misses the mark for 40% of all children. These multisensory learners struggle in school through no fault of their own. Homework battles and loss of self-esteem are the result. But there is a way out. The OptiKodes Answer says that home is ground zero for turning the plight of struggling students around. With a 100% success rate in getting struggling students to grade level and beyond over the last fourteen years, Kimberley Blackburn is on a mission to teach parents what she knows. Every child learns through five different modalities: seeing, hearing, moving, reading, and thinking. But some of them lie dormant. When reading is a dormant learning modality, a child naturally struggles in a school system oriented toward reading. With the OptiKodes System, parents first discover the individual learning style of their child. A simple assessment reveals the order of their child's learning modalities, from most-dominant to most-dormant. With this understanding, parents can use the OptiKodes System to help their children "learn how to learn" in the most effective way for them individually. Parents can now take charge of their child's learning with the OptiKodes System. With the OptiKodes System, the time spent working with their children at home gets optimal results. The OptiKodes Answer addresses the crucial question of kindergarten readiness by outlining three risk factors for multisensory learners. Getting the right start at the right time has consequences for a child's entire school career. How did we get in a situation where 40% of all children are not served by the education system? The OptiKodes Answer delves into the history of public education, how it is changing today, and how it can change tomorrow to meet the specialized needs of all learners. Many children who struggle with reading are falsely labeled as learning-disabled or misdiagnosed with ADD, ADHD, or dyslexia. The OptiKodes Answer explains what these conditions really mean and how these mistaken diagnoses happen. But it also shows how children who really do have learning disabilities can benefit from the OptiKodes System, too. The OptiKodes System is not just for children. Everyone carries their five learning modalities throughout life. The OptiKodes Answer shows how adults can use an understanding of their OptiKode to choose the right career, work smarter, and develop their dormant capacities.
