The Kumon Worksheets used around the world are all based on the same approach. That is, they allow students to steadily advance to higher level material by letting all students begin from a point that they can solve comfortably, regardless of their age or grade at school. This approach makes it possible for each student to study at the “just-right” level as the burden on students is only subtlety increased little by little. Our worksheet developers at Kumon are constantly learning from children in an effort to improve our current worksheet lineup and also to develop new and better worksheets to provide Kumon students with the best possible learning materials.
The Kumon Math Program sets out to enable learners to master high school level mathematics through self-learning. The worksheets are structured around essential elements for the study of high school level differential and integral calculus, such as: calculations using the four operations, equations, factorization, and functions and graphs. The worksheets are also designed to gradually increase in difficulty using small steps so that even students in elementary school or preschool can begin advancing to differential and integral calculus through self-learning. As of June 2021, the math worksheets are provided in eleven different languages for study around the world.
The Kumon native language programs are structured to enable learners to develop an advanced level of reading ability through self-learning. In the beginning of the curriculum, students are first exposed to both new and familiar vocabulary. They then learn letters and, in some cases, characters in the context of words, as well as new words in the context of sentences. Next, students develop their understanding of simple sentences, then paragraphs, and systematically advance to the practice of summarizing passages in their own words, which increases their reading comprehension ability. Ultimately, students get to the point where they are able to read classic and contemporary literary masterpieces from around the world and think critically about the messages they contain. At Kumon, we also make use of the Kumon Recommended Reading List (RRL), a list of books from various genres listed in order of difficulty to help promote reading among students. As of June 2021, the native language programs are provided in seven different languages for study around the world.
The Kumon foreign language programs set out to enable learners to develop an advanced level of reading comprehension ability. Using audio players, students begin by listening to and repeating basic words and sentences. They then move on to practicing oral reading and systematically learning about English grammar. After students have mastered basic grammar, they begin learning how to read and understand long passages. Students learn many new words and develop advanced reading comprehension ability as they go from reading simple passages to classic literature in different genres. As of June 2021, Kumon provides English as a foreign language program in 33 different countries and regions. We offer French and German programs in Japan, and we also provide a Japanese program for students in other countries around the world.
SAIDO Learning® and Learning for a Healthy Brain materials are based on brain science research and have been developed with the aim of maintaining cognitive function, slowing or reversing cognitive decline, and preventing the onset of dementia in learners. Learners communicate with supporters while doing exercises in reading, writing, and simple arithmetic, which activates the prefrontal cortex of the brain. These activities lend to an improvement of their cognitive function, communication ability, and ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs). The level of the learning exercises assigned to learners is determined by their level of cognitive function.
