KUMON CAN HELP!
KUMON'S FORMULA FOR SUCCESS IS AS SIMPLE AS
1-2-3
1. FREE Diagnostic Test
Kumon will test your child free of charge and
obligation before enrollment to determine the most appropriate starting point
within the Kumon system. This "comfortable"
starting point is an important feature of the Kumon
Method because immediately, your child will be able to solve a large number of
problems quickly and easily...which means he or she will gain self-confidence and the
desire to advance from the very start.
2. Specialized Materials
The Kumon system emphasizes self-learning with a unique
set of materials which your child completes on his or her own, supervised by a
trained Kumon instructor. Math concepts within the system are sequentially organized,
so they're easy to follow as they gradually increase in difficulty. The
materials are designed to provide your child with the necessary practice of math skills, which
promotes both speed and accuracy while building a true mastery of mathematical concepts.
3. Advancement at a Comfortable Pace
Kumon believes that children should advance in
mathematics at their own pace and according to individual ability rather than
age. With the Kumon Method, students
practice and rework incorrect problems as many times as
needed until a score of 100% is achieved. Mr. Toru Kumon, founder, explains the
philosophy behind the
methodology: "The joy of receiving 100% not only
ensures subject knowledge but also gives the child the confidence and motivation
to continue to the next study level."

Classroom Procedure
At the Kumon Center
All Kumon centers are run by trained Kumon Instructors.
Kumon of Loggers Run center opens two afternoons a week from 2:00pm until
7:00pm, Monday and Thursday, and students
stay in the center at a designated time for approximately 25 minutes. While
they are at the center, they do the following:
-
HELLO! Students come in, get their files and submit
their homework.
-
5-10 sheets per day. Instructor decides the type
and amount of work suitable for each student. Students do 5-10 worksheets
per day appropriate to their skills and abilities. While their work is being
graded, students do some
supplementary activities.
-
100% always. Because students work on the materials
that match their abilities, they are able to score 100% or very close to it. 100% gives them confidence.
-
Corrections. Should there be any mistakes, students
must correct them on their own until a score of 100% is achieved. Students learn from their mistakes.
-
Goodbye. When the work is successfully completed,
students receive praises and rewards from their Instructors. They pick up their homework and say
goodbye.
At home
Students do a little of Kumon work every day. On
non-center days, they do a set of work at home each day. It is important to get into a good daily routine so that
studying becomes a part of the day. Completed homework need not be checked by the parents. Parents give their children
praises and compliments essential in developing their self-confidence.
Tuition includes:
ONE or TWO twenty to thirty minute classroom sessions
per week.
All instruction materials.
Junior Kumon: Special Head-start Program for young children
(ages 3 and
up) Preschool - Kindergarten Program
Kumon of North America has developed a
new quick paced, lively and fun version of Kumon Math and Reading. Junior Kumon
is designed to equip these youngsters for primary school and for the full Kumon
program.
Students enrolling in Junior Kumon are typically enrolled in both math and
reading as the program is designed for both subjects to work in tandem. Students
successfully work at a quick pace to accomplish the routine of Junior Kumon in
both subjects in only 30 minutes during their center visit. Daily time at home
should be no longer than 20 minutes for both subjects combined.
