By Tabitha Makumi, Enabling Support Foundation Communications and PR.

Parents and Teachers using Kusoma, an Enabling Support Foundation App which enables students in early reading learn to read and write at an early age can now anticipate to utilize Kusoma 2 while at home and once schools re-open.

The App, Kusoma 2 which has been in development has 50+New words with the sole aim of developing and enhancing vocabulary in early child development.

Currently in clinical trials, the app will enable students in early reading develop sentences using the 50+new words.

With a detailed background in computer network orientation, Enabling Support Foundation CEO has done ground breaking work in the education sector in teaching meaning of words at an early age.

“In 1980 I published a paper showing that you can know the meaning of a word even if you cannot say it. It was aimed at curing dyslexia. In 1990 I published a paper on Education for the 21st Century. You can see that paper and its evolution over 30 years,” he shares in a previous article.

With the new updates of Kusoma 2, Enabling Support Foundation looks forward in working with educators in Kenya and Uganda once schools re-open.

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.

This is equivalent to making the light brighter for the totally blind. With all the negatives ...

Lessons on Showing Compassion to Children with Dyslexia

Lessons by Dr. Robert Zenhausern, CEO and Founder at Enabling Support Foundation The way Dyslexics are taught can be considered as abuse of the disabled. The most common problem in Dyslexia is in phonetic decoding. But phonetic decoding is the way reading is taught and so these children have difficulty reading. Furthermore, Sally Shaywitz has shown that dyslexics have an abnormal response in the brain system for phonetic decoding, indicating a physical brain disability. The remediation strategy used by the Education Establishment is simple. That is to fix the brain dysfunction or teach phonetic decoding anyway. This is equivalent to remediating the blind by making the light brighter. They teach the deaf to read without phonetic decoding. Why not the dyslexic? Questions to move the conversations along in children and adults alike are how does it feel to be dyslexic? Have you had a “tip of the tongue”? For most, you know how you get when ...
