The A B Cs of Junior Kumon
A: INTERACTION
Junior Kumon is a fully interactive program. A trained Kumon Assistant
works closely and patiently with Junior Kumon students, providing
attention, positive reinforcement, and instruction at each session.
Consistent and positive interaction at the Center and at home is
crucial at this stage of learning.
B: INDIVIDUALIZATION
The Junior Kumon curriculum is individualized for each student. Reading
aloud to children, counting with them, and using tools like worksheets,
flashcards, books, alphabet and number boards form the basis of the
Junior Kumon curriculum. Each child progresses through these materials
at his or her own pace.
C: INTRODUCTION
Junior Kumon introduces children to basic skills required to learn math
and reading. It takes time and practice to develop these pre-reading
and numeracy skills. At this input stage of learning, students may not
be able to demonstrate to you what they know upon command. Parents
should be patient and understanding.
