1: 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.
2: 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.
3: 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.
4: 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?s how the Kumon Method ensures optimal comprehension and retention of concepts, establishing the strongest possible foundation for more advanced material.
5: 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.
Parental Involvement:
The goal is for Kumon students to assume most?if not all?of the responsibility for their own study. Some parental involvement, particularly in the beginning, helps to establish the routine and get the whole process off to a good start.
Kumon is most successful when the student, parent and Kumon Instructor work together to ensure that the child advances continually to the best of his or her ability.
An engaged Kumon parent will:
- Help your child establish good study habits by supporting and enforcing a daily "Kumon time"
-
Check that assignments are timed and graded accurately and completed daily
-
Get involved and help motivate your child by participating in home grading of his or her Kumon worksheets
-
Know what one's child is studying and why
-
Discuss that child's progress with his or her Kumon Instructor
-
Praise and encourage your child regularly.
-
Let your child move at their own pace.
