AGES 3-5 ➡️ Age 6-12 ➡️ Age 13+
In the Kumon English Program, preschoolers start with “look, listen and repeat” exercises using colorful illustrations to connect words to familiar objects, before advancing to phonics and letter writing. Through practice, children develop a foundation of vocabulary, memory and phonemic awareness that will help them begin reading.
Building strong reading comprehension will prepare your child to advance through elementary school with confidence and an appreciation for learning. Reading skills affect every subject, so a strong vocabulary, an understanding of the proper use of grammar and an ability to interpret text will elevate your child’s learning experience.
As your child enters middle and high school, the Kumon English Program will help advance your child’s reading abilities and critical thinking skills necessary for rigorous college courses. Through the study of advanced literature, your child will analyze and interpret diverse information in complex texts, from literary criticism to academic, social and political commentary.
