Much Awaited Manual of Kusoma Integrated Arts is Live


By Tabitha Makumi, Enabling Support Foundation Communications and PR,

Until schools re-open in January, parents will be playing the much needed role of teachers, a task they’ve been on since COVID 19 wrecked havoc in the education sector back in March 2020. 

Shared by Enabling Support Foundation CEO and Founder, Dr. Robert Zenhausern is an educators manual into the arts of how the app Kusoma works. 

“The original approach was called Look, Listen, Think.  The child looks at a word, the word is spoken, and the child thinks about the word no more than two to three seconds,” shares Dr. Robert. 

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. In the recent past, parents have been taught how to utilize Kusoma via email and WhatsApp. Ideally, the approach has been successful to over 900 children in Kenya and Uganda. 

Shared on Education 21 is an extensive manual on parents teaching in early reading how to show each word and ask the child to say the word or point to the spoken word. 

We advise parents and educators using the Kusoma approach during COVID 19 to utilize the guidance provided by Education 21 and share feedback of the Kusoma user experience.

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.
