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.
And that’s just not it, with learning to lean in on the Kusoma App, children at
an early age can start making word cards of their own, once. But have
printable versions.
With the app, educators and learners alike can use the letters in the new words
to teach the alphabet and letter sounds. Have them create letter cards for all
the letters, once. But still have copies. But what’s important, the
Kusoma app can as well teach spelling.
