Give your child the gift of a better education #KumonReads
I recently told you about Kumon. We also ran a very popular giveaway for Kumon books and accessories. I want to follow up and write about some of the hidden benefits of sending your child to Kumon. It’s one thing to improve your child’s academic skills, but did you know that by teaching your child how to learn on their own sets them up for a lifetime of opportunities that can translate to nearly any discipline or profession down the road?
What’s more, when a child is confident in their school work they are much more likely to be independent and self reliant. These are absolutely priceless life skills. That is part of what has contributed to Kumon’s success and made them the world’s largest after school math and reading program. The Kumon method has helped millions of children achieve academic excellence.
Tips for Doing Kumon at Home:Establish a routine with your child.Getting into a daily routine is the first step to becoming a successful student. With a well-established routine, your child will keep up with the work and progress.Celebrate small and large victories.Look for opportunities to praise your child’s progress, not just achievement.Help your child.Maintain regular communication with your Instructor about homework, motivation, curriculum, or anything else.
It is an especially wonderful program if your child is bored at school or has difficulty concentrating. A change in environment, technique and methods can help rekindle your child’s passion for education. If your child is struggling with math or readings or if you would just like to help them get ahead in their education, check out a Kumon center near you.
DISCLOSURE: This post was sponsored by Kumon Canada but as always, all opinions are 100% my own.
It sounds like a good plan. Our kids use the common core system in the schools and I am NOT a fan.
I have heard so many good things about Kumon. I’ll look into this more.
This sounds great. I could see using them during the summer to keep my son on track for the next school year.
At one time we considered having to send my daughter to Kumon. I hear they have great programs. Thankfully our daughter is catching on better. I think with our new Math I may need Kumon. It’s ridiculous.
Kumon is so great. I know quite a few families who have used Kumon and only have raving words to say about it!
I had never heard of this. Sounds like a great addition to any other program. Routines are so important. Thank you for sharing this with us.
This sounds like a great program. Having a routine always helps kids.
What a great program. Teaching a child to want to – and be able to – learn on their own sets them up for lots of success in their life.
It’s great that they have programs to help kids learn better. Educational help is always nice.
Kids thrive on routine. I have established a homework routine for them and I am glad it works well for them
Keeping to a daily routine really helps kids. I have heard great reviews for the Kumon system.
Kumon really sounds amazing, though I have not heard about much about this before. After all our children deserves the best of education for sure. Will definitely have a look in to this.
Yes! Always communicate with the teachers, or instructor! You must know what’s going on, close the gap between school and home so you as a parent know what is going on with your kids. I’ve been doing this more and more, the kids are doing so much better in school!
