Children will begin


to understand the
importance of
practice.
We've all heard the expression. "Practice makes perfect." But at
Kumon Learning Centers, we believe, "Practice makes possibilities."
Top athletes, musicians, scientists, artists and scholars - none achieves
greatness by accident. They practice. Imagine what your child can

achieve with mastery in math and reading at an early age.

The Kumon Method began with a parent's love. Determined to help


his 8-year-old son, a math teacher named Toru Kumon developed the
materials and guiding principles that grew into the largest after-school
math and reading program in the world. Today, in more than 55
countries and regions around the world, the Kumon Method is helping
millions of children succeed in the classroom and in life, and it can
advance your child's learning, too.

And it's all based on practice.

All parents want their


children to be confident.
The Kumon Method empowers children to become
self-learners. Each time our students tackle and

overcome a new challenge, their confidence grows,


and they realize they are achieving more than they
thought they could. Kumon puts them on the path

to becoming the confident, independent, self-reliant


people all parents want their children to be.

Kumon encourages
independent learning.
At a Kumon Center, you'll find no blackboards or
lectures. Instead of passively receiving instruction

from teachers or tutors, Kumon Students actively


develop self-learning skills. Here's how:

➔ Each student progresses at their own


pace through an individualized lesson plan
established by their instructor.

➔ Students do daily assignments that take about


30 minutes per subject.

➔ Students work under the supervision of Kumon


Center staff twice per week - in person or
virtually - and independently the other days.

➔ Each worksheet teaches a lesson that's one


small step more advanced than the lesson
before, so students progress smoothly and gain
confidence with each new success.

The Kumon Placement Test assesses

Everyone needs a starting point. The first step in your child's journey is one of the most important

steps of all.

• With the Kumon Instructor observing, your child takes a placement test to gauge their abilities in
math and reading.

• Along with your child's test score, the Kumon Instructor takes note of your child's concentration
level, speed, handwriting and more.

• The instructor assesses the information to determine the best starting point for your child, and
then designs an individual program around your child's abilities, needs and goals.
