Foxy Joxy Plays a Trick

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

What subjects are taught in today’s curriculum? In a world where entrepreneurship is taught at an early age through many formats such as learning the history of barter trade which is the exchange of commodities, imagine them going the extra mile of thinking and being an entrepreneur.

In the developed world where we have the majority of kids in entrepreneurship out of simple and refreshing ideas which solve world problems, this is not something new.

Foxy Joxy Plays a Trick is a cautionary tale of how minds are framed at an early age. With this book, you can have meaningful discussions around entrepreneurship at an early age.

For example, what kind of sales tricks can children use when starting up a business during the lock-down? Can they register a business? Can they open a bank account and save up for later?

Authored by Mdu Ntuli, Nahinda Esmail and Samantha Rice, Foxy Joxy Plays a Trick is not only an entertaining but also an eye opener of how kids can learn to be independent thinker and doers.

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 ...

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 ...
