re:Kumon is a Japanese...
Kumon is a Japanese program. It originally starts with Math. It added reading into its program because of the emphasize on reading in US and Canada. I won't say Kumon's reading is very special or anything like that. It does touch on certain components of reading (phonics, vocabulary), but to me, I still feel it treats English as a second language.
I visited one Kumon center in Toronto. It locates at a Jewish community center. Interestingly, I was impressed by their behavior management, but not their curriculum. It may due to variances across centers or teachers. Personally, I won't send my child to Kumon just for their reading program. I guess all I can say is that math is their highlight, but not reading.
Sorry, I cannot type in Chinese in my office. |
