Imagine a world where children had great Hero’s when they are still at a tender age? Where a month at school or at home is dedicated in learning what their hero stands, stood up for or should be standing up for.

With Enabling Support Education, children are encouraged to be fierce, to speak up and have great leaders who believe in education at an early age.

One of the greatest achievements of the Foundation in 2020 is being able to partner with creative volunteers in South Africa whose literature can be found on Book Dash.

Written for children, the books are well written and thought of and range from all type of topics which parents can discuss with their kids if they are at an age to do so. Heavy on literature, great with graphics and with lessons which will last forever.

Enabling Support Foundation engages with the parents and educators and ensures children do not miss out on education when schools are closed for. The partnership also ensures that those who matter at the time of crisis are well catered for.

The books available at Book Dash are not only free but also creatively written to make sure the whole family learns the ropes of the world and hopefully shake things up in several household. Meaningful discussions is what Enabling Support Foundation and Book Dash hopes to achieve with this partnership.

As a parent and an educator, great discovery of talent should not come as a surprise when the kids say, “That’s what I want to accomplish when I grow up,” and with Enabling Support Foundation, you can steer the conversation in the right direction.

Don't forget to donate to Enabling Support Foundation through a GoFund Me Fundraising Campaign to support equality in education across the globe.

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 ...

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. (Google Sally Shaywitz) Traditional treatment is administered to give them drills on phonics, that is, giving them more and more of what they cannot do. This is equivalent to making the light brighter for the totally blind. With all the negatives ...

Why is Nita Upside Down?

Book Reviewed by Tabitha Makumi, Enabling Support Foundation Communications & PR. Staring at the book cover which is a work of art and you will think... Is She Now? But let’s get in to the nitty gritties of “Why is Nita Upside Down?” You’ll agree there’s still a lot that needs to be done in the world of shaping girl’s mentality. While the world is playing catch up with who can play where and when, extra-curricular activities in early child development in most schools are diverse thanks to gender neutral games. This enables students to different from the norm and enhances kids in early learning the sense of self but also encourages a whole generation to just be. Why is Nita Upside Down? is a great book for early reading which enables the character to see the world as her oyster. In reality, Nita is what young girls are and are growing up to be. Authored by Roxanna Bouwer, Sara Bouwer and Emma Hearne, Why is Nita Upside Down? can guide parents and ...
