A Tiny Seed, The Story of Wangari Maathai

Book Reviewed by Tabitha Makumi, Enabling Support Foundation Communications and PR.

Take a moment to ponder and think of your heroes as a parent and an educator in the Early Child Education. In a world where young adults such as Greta Thurnberg are on the front line of taking action to conserve the environment, more action is needed.

A Tiny Seed, The Story of Wangari Maathai is a well thought off book meant for early child development with an emphasis on the need of planting trees for the detrimental health of the environment to conserve nature at its best. 

Authored by Nicola Rijsdijk and Maya Marshak, A Tiny Seed also tells the story of Nobel Laurette Wangari Maathai’s early education in the then African traditional society where children especially girls were not encouraged to go to school. 

Narrated to children in school and at home, A Tiny Seed will not only bring out the hero in you as an educator and parent but will also ensure we have little environmental warriors in the 21 Century with a hero to look up to.

Difficulty in Early Child Learning? What to Expect from Educators in ESF

Lessons by Robert Zenhausern, Enabling Support Foundation CEO and Founder. The way we teach early reading is the biggest mistake in the history of Education.  It handicaps all children and it’s impossible for the 20 per cent of the population we label  as “dyslexic” Reading is traditionally taught using phonetic decoding or “sounding out”.  It is a long process as the child learns the names and sounds of the alphabet and combines them into words they can say.  The child is “reading ready” or simply put, already able to read in Primary One (1) But even after with “reading readiness” courses, some children cannot read.  About 20% suffer from a known brain abnormality that interferes with phonetic decoding.
