Johnston Kumon Math and Reading Center - FREE Registration for May 2013

Summertime is quickly approaching, and that means parents are starting to plan activities to keep their children busy during the break.  


  According to studies in the Journal of Educational Research, children can lose approximately 2.6 months of knowledge if not provided with any educational stimulation over long breaks. Educational enrichment programs such as the Kumon Method are a proven way to keep students’ minds engaged and focused on retaining knowledge year round, especially between grade levels.


 Summer is an optimal time to start a supplemental education program such as Kumon to ensure children do not fall behind in school during long breaks. Kumon’s tailored math and reading programs are tailored to each student with short, daily assignments and consistent practice that build a thorough understanding of topics, strong work ethics, concentration, and self-learning. Students work at their own pace, strengthening each skill before moving on to the next. Through repetition, students gain confidence, build skills, retain vital information and begin each school year fully prepared and even ahead of their peers.
