Manoa Kumon Center Parents,
Our center has been selected to be one of the first centers in Hawai‘i to provide KUMON CONNECT. KUMON CONNECT represents the cutting-edge evolution of Kumon, translating traditional worksheets to a new online, digital platform that will only be offered at selected centers. This is a prestigious honor for our center, and we look forward to sharing this new, dynamic platform with our students.
For the last 60 years, Kumon has delivered academic success to children around the world using paper-based worksheets in local centers via specialized instructors. KUMON CONNECT represents the translation of these traditional paper worksheets to a digital format, leveraging technology to make them even more accessible and convenient for students to study using tablets and styluses.
Focusing on Stylus use allows the students to hand write their calculations and answers just as they would a pencil. The process of writing by hand and making corrections on the page has always been a key part of the Kumon Method. We believe that handwriting is a more profound cognitive process than keyboarding, as it combines a neurosensory experience with fine motor skills, bringing together both
movement and thought, and aiding recall.
For students, it means they are able to study with focus and speed, and when their submitted work is marked electronically, they can make any corrections swiftly and neatly. Students can utilize KUMON CONNECT in class just as they can with paper worksheets and continue their study at home independently on days in between classes.
We have just started to roll out KUMON CONNECT at the Manoa Kumon Center on February 1, 2023. Do not worry, conventional worksheets will continue to still be offered!
We will provide ample training for you and your child, and we are confident that a tablet and stylus pen can offer a wonderful way to expand your child's Kumon learning while providing convenience and flexibility. You will no longer need to keep numbered worksheets organized anymore and we will have a Grading Center that will grade your child's Kumon before they start their new work the next day. We will be able to view how students are completing their work and our instructors can remotely assess their mastery and understanding both in-center and homework.
If you are interested, please email us at [email protected] so that we can get started on signing up your child.
