The Kumon Experience
The Kumon Method of learning is one that develops a student’s math and reading skills through a gradual progression of skill mastery. Students begin with an assessment that identifies their strengths and deficits. A unique lesson plan is made that will meet the needs of the student. As the child’s skills emerge and develop, a new skill level is presented and gradually mastered. Every level of mastery is used as a stepping stone for the next skill. Every step in the Kumon Method is so deliberate, precise and tailor-made for each child so that progress is made at a pace that allows the student to experience success through self- realization and self-discovery.
This process is so clear and methodical and allows a child to understand how to build on their own skills and knowledge. Every student will experience this in their unique way that encourages positive self-esteem. When a student feels that they are indeed capable of mastering skills through the Kumon approach, they become more confident. They are encouraged to ask for what they need in order to become successful. They are given the tools necessary for progress and are allowed to think through the process and experience learning epiphanies on their own terms. This level of self-reliance can spill over into all facets of life.
The whole Kumon Experience is so much more than developing math and reading skills. Through the realization that they have all the skills necessary to solve problems and ask for what they need, they are able to become self-advocates. The Kumon Experience ultimately translates into a way of approaching life with confidence and motivation which are key elements to being successful in life.
