Anticipation on the Use of Kusoma 2 in Early Reading

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.

Learning with Kusoma Has Never Gone Wrong

Lessons by Dr. Robert Zenhausern, Enabling Support Foundation CEO & Founder. When a child has learned the meaning of the spoken word, he/she can learn the meaning of the written word. The key is in the meaning, very hard to define, but summarized in the common statement of “I know what it is.” When educators teach a child a new spoken word, they are connecting meaning to the sound. In the same way when you teach a new written word, you are connecting meaning to the word. Reading should be easier because after the spoken word meaning is gone, the print remains. The Kusoma app can be used for basic vocabulary and I expect a sentence app to be available soon. In formal school (PP1 and 2), the child learns the use of LLT. After a lesson of 10 words, those 10 words have many uses which a child can use to read and understand sentences. Furthermore, they can learn to write sentences of their own.

In a previous article on Kusoma being the Answer during COVID 19 by the communications department at the foundation, the Kusoma approach has proven to be effective to reading than the traditional approach.
