The Kumon Method

 Success from the start - Students begin at a comfortable starting point - determined by our placement test - with work that can be easily completed. This way your child will master the basics and gain complete proficiency with each successive step. Kumon students develop better concentration and study habits because they don't get frustrated by our learning process.

 

Advancing Step By Step - Kumon uses neither a classroom nor a tutoring model, but rather a guided "self-motivated-learning" approach. Worksheets assigned by the Instructor provide an example illustrating the concept to be learned. Then a simple exercise modeled after the example is given. Each new assignment is slightly more challenging than the last. The progression is so gradual that students are able to acquire the skills to advance independently.

 

Speed + Accuracy = Mastery - Before your child can advance from one assignment to the next, the material should be completed with a perfect score within a prescribed period of time. All work is graded and the results recorded to determine when your child has a total command of the material and is ready to move on.

 

Practice Makes Perfect - Worksheets are assigned daily, even though most children attend the center just twice a week. An assignment that takes too long or is completed with too many errors is repeated until mastered. That is how the Kumon Method ensures optimal comprehension and retention of concepts, establishing the strongest possible foundation for more advanced material.

 

Realizing Each Child's Potential - The Kumon Method allows your child to advance steadily at a comfortable pace dictated only by his or her ability and initiative. Your child’s individualized program is never compromised by the needs of a group or a prescribed teaching agenda. The first priority of the Kumon Instructor is to enable each and every child to perform and progress to his or her full potential-including advanced study whenever possible.

 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Kumon Math


Kumon’s founder was a math teacher, and the original study plan he developed was in mathematics. While that program has evolved considerably, Kumon Math remains our most widely attended and recognized program.

Kumon Math is a comprehensive program that develops the necessary skills to help a child progress from counting to calculus.

Often children have trouble simplifying fractional expressions in algebra because they have not mastered basic calculations. The Kumon Method develops proficiency at every level, so Kumon students build the solid foundation they need to advance more successfully and confidently through their school’s math curriculum.

The ease with which Kumon students routinely learn to perform basic operations and solve problems is perhaps the most dramatic testament to the effectiveness of the Kumon Method.

 


Kumon Reading


Parents have grown increasingly aware of the importance of having their children acquire good reading skills at an early age. This can often mean the difference between a child excelling or having difficulty at every phase of learning that follows. Not surprisingly, Kumon Reading is our fastest growing program.

Kumon Reading is a balanced program representing the best documented practices in reading instruction. It covers skills from understanding the sounds that make up words to the summary and critique of complex reading passages.

Good writing and speaking skills are fostered as a natural outgrowth of the Kumon Reading curriculum. Kumon students at every level read daily. That alone confers enormous benefits.
