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.
