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.

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 ...
