Will KONOS work with a dyslexic child?
Here is the best answer to that question.....
a testimonial.
Dear Jessica,
I suppose you get these kinds of e-mails all the time but I just have to
share with you what God has done in my life. Two years ago my son was
attending first grade, we knew that he was not getting what he needed and
I began praying for alternatives. God was very forthcoming about what he
wanted me to do and that was homeschooling. It took Him several months to
convince me that this was the best choice. In May that year I went to
another homeschooler’s house and she had your videos. Well, we watched
them and I was so taken by your style. My son is a hands-on learner. I
ordered Vol. 1 and we got started Sept 1999. All last year we did KONOS
and the timeline. (My oldest was in 2nd grade, and I had 4 year old and a
3 year old all boys). My boys loved learning this way. Attentiveness gave
them an appreciation for music. Which they had never had before (they are
sports boys). I watched them blossom and their worlds filled with love of
learning. We finished last year on a very successful note. The beginning
of this year I was moving my timeline and wanted the children to tell me
about each of the characters we learned about last year. My oldest son
only missed one person. The information presented last year went directly
into his long-term memory.
Then we sat down to review math. He didn't retain any information on
reading or math. We had him tested and found out he has dyslexia. Since
September we have worked very hard with the Dyslexia Clinic in town and he
has improved a whole grade level. His confidence was not destroyed by this
diagnosis. He knew that KONOS information was what stuck with him and he
did know he was learning in his style.
Thank you so much for your passion. Your videos and all your hard work. We
will be moving into Vol. 2 by April and look forward to all it brings. I
am very passionate about the KONOS material. I have created a scrapbook
about all we did last year. I have taken my KONOS book and my scrapbook to
curriculum nights in town. I love to discuss it with the mom's in our
homeschool group. Thank you again for all you do!
God Bless,
Janet K
