Baby's First Family Photo

Book Review by Tabitha Makumi, Enabling Support Foundation Communications and PR,

As holidays are gearing up, kids around the world await presents from donors, well-wishers, friends and relatives. For those who have started reading, a book is a great present.

If you as the reader love a print on your shirt, think of the “Mandela’s shirt” and how the design/print found its way into people’s wardrobe all over the world.

This early children’s book teaches of various colours and hues in design. How good are kids in telling the difference between maroon and yellow and would they be interested in a career in fashion designing when they are older?

Authored by Edem Torkoonor, Designed by Nadine Kriel, Illustrated by Megan Andrews and Edited by Glynis Llyod, Baby First Family Photo is a great read for kids in Education 21.

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.

(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 ...

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 ...
