Math and Reading Programs
The Kumon Math Program aims to prepare students to excel in math.  The lower level Kumon worksheets are designed to master the four basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division), which are the primary building blocks of all mathematics.  With this sound foundation, students can easily learn more complex operations such as long division, fractions, equation solving, factorization, and other advanced mathematical functions.

Students struggling with math are usually those with poor foundational skills.  Kumon's programs are structured sequentially to ensure students master one concept before moving to the next.  Kumon students are able to progress AT THEIR OWN PACE based on a diagnostic inventory  of individual  needs and skills.  This is a key difference between Kumon and most school-based learning.
The  Kumon Reading Program's goal is to develop students' reading comprehension skills to a point where students can easily read, understand, summarize and analyze advanced forms of writing from diverse texts.  We use a building block approach emphasizing letters, words, sentences, paragraphs, then more advanced concepts, ensuring subject matter mastery before progressing to the next level.  Our program includes instruction in both silent and oral reading, comprehension, phonics, whole language, sight words, spelling, and grammar.  Flash cards and audio CDs are available for young students.
