Boss Your Brain: Dyslexia Solutions

🌷Tulpe is die trigger … my gedagtes gaan terug na Keukenhof, 18 Mei 1999.

Liewe Pappa,
dit was ons laaste uitstappie saam.
Jy is onverwags hemel toe, net een week later — toe Berno skaars ’n week oud was.

Ek koester ongelooflike herinneringe …
Jy het vir my, vir ons, só baie geleer.

Ek mis jou elke dag.
Gelukkige Vadersdag.💙

We travelled to England to celebrate my daughter’s graduation at Oxford University - a moment filled with deep gratitude and pride.

But in between the ancient streets of Oxford, the history of Cambridge, and the beauty of Bath, another story quietly unfolded.

An old man told us how he travelled the world working in the engine rooms of ships, yet could never be promoted because he ‘didn’t have the papers.’

Visiting the Oxford University Press made me realise again how much the printed word shaped our world. And how many brilliant minds were left behind simply because words on paper came easier to some than others.

43 Jaar later …
en skielik sit ons weer langs mekaar,
asof geen tyd verbygegaan het nie.

Stories. Lag. Trane.
Genade wat deur elke lewe geweef is.

9 Mei by Lanzerac Deli was ‘n kosbare dag.
Ek koester elkeen se storie …

Wat ‘n voorreg om weer drade op te tel met vroue van integriteit, omgee en geloof.

Die klein detail het alles besonders gemaak: naamkaartjies, beskuit, piesangbrood, blomme …

Dankie Hetsie en Trudie vir die skep van só ‘n besondere dag.💙

A dyslexia diagnosis felt devastating.

A mom watched her Grade 5 son’s bubbly personality slowly disappear. But then something changed.

After completing almost 50% of the Afrikaans Programme:
• His reading and handwriting have improved
• He no longer needs a reader or writer
• He is beginning to understand how his dyslexic brain works

Gelukkige Moedersdag💙

Throwing it back to a rainy Sunday at SAMAcon 2026. From inspiring conversations to powerful insights, it was an honour to share my voice.

We unpacked how to help dyslexics truly flourish - where 3D thinking meets 2D reading: slow down, follow reading direction, and ask, “Does this make sense?”

World Book Day reminds us that some books don’t just inform - they transform. 📚

A lesson I’ve carried with me since 2000: structure is everything. Not just in language, but in daily life too. When we create structure, we create possibility.
Today, I continue that work - making English and Afrikaans simpler, more accessible, and achievable for every learner.
