Dear Kumon Families,

1.5 billion students around the world were affected by school closures, which interrupted the flow of their learning. As we head into the summer months, many parents are concerned not only about the break from learning over the summer, but also what experts have called the “COVID Slide.”

In a typical year, students can lose up to 2 months of math and reading skills during the summer months. Due to COVID-19, experts fear that learning loss will be steeper with students losing 30% of reading and 50% of math knowledge they gained from last school year.

The daily exercises that your child is doing in Kumon will not only help them combat this learning loss, but it will help them build long-term learning skills to give them an advantage in their future academics and beyond.

If you or your friends are interested in reading more in detail about the “COVID Slide,” you can read our blog article: Kick Learning Loss to the Side. 

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Ms. Cheng
