After a school-year full of challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many students across the country are unsurprisingly left with larger-than-average learning gaps. According to an April 2020 report by the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA), major pandemic-related learning loss was predicted. In November of 2020, the NWEA ran a second study and released a new report to express those official learning loss findings. While students surprisingly retained much of what they had learned in reading, there were unfortunately larger learning gaps in math. As the pandemic continues, these gaps are expected to widen.
Kumon —the world’s largest after-school math and reading program can help fill and prevent those learning gaps. Kumon is an after-school math and reading enrichment program that is designed to accelerate your child’s learning. The learning method uses an individualized approach that helps students develop a solid command of math and reading skills, and aims to increase academic confidence, independence, and overall ability. Founded in 1958, Kumon has over four million students enrolled at nearly 25,000 learning centers in more than 55 countries and regions.
Here are the ways Kumon can help your child in reaching the academic goal:
1. Kumon Identifies the Perfect Starting Point
Making sure to identify each student’s knowledge and foundation within math, reading, or both is integral to determine what areas need to be filled in that have developed a gap. Once that is established, students are able to study at a level that is perfectly crafted and optimized for them to succeed.
2. Kumon’s Goal is to Create Self-Learners
Unlike tutoring programs that passively teach, Kumon instills techniques that help students develop into lifelong self-learners.
3. Kumon is Based on Ability
An important aspect of Kumon that sets it apart from other supplemental education programs is that it is not based on age or grade. Instead, the Kumon Math and Reading Program is based on personal ability.
4. Kumon Individualizes Study Plans for Each Student
- Instead of group classes that many other tutoring services offer, Kumon is completely individualized for each enrolled student.
- Kumon is a worksheet-based program. By studying worksheets in a logical sequence, the Kumon method helps instill good study habits and life skills.
