Kumon Of Old Settlers Math and Reading Center February 2012 Dear Parents, One of the key goals of Kumon program is to encourage our students to achieve grade level and continue to work above grade level. With the hard-work of our Kumon students, parents and center assistants, many of our students have achieved this prestigious status. Recently, Kumon NA announced the Kumon Advanced Student Honor Roll (ASHR). The following students from our center deserve special mention as they were recognized as working at 1, 2 or 3 years above their grade level.

We are asking for your participation to help our students learn to come prepared for study at our Kumon center. We have noticed a huge difference in the performance of students who come prepared for class versus who don't. Students who come prepared perform better, have better work ethics, and are able to meet their goals sooner. They are not only more disciplined and focused but are eager to learn more. Students who come unprepared to class need extra time to settle down. Repeatedly, when they come unprepared, their work is not of good quality; sometimes, they even start to underestimate themselves. Many times, when students come to the center without their homework, pencils and/or erasers, they are quick to blame their parents for it. This shows that they are not owning their education and we all need to work harder to make them independent without pushing their responsibility on to others. Therefore, please make sure that they remember to bring their homework, more than one sharpened pencil and an eraser - they will be more prepared to take on the work presented at the center. This also prevents them from wasting precious minutes of their center time. Over time, this daily enforcement will help the students become independent and own their actions. Homework Completion of daily homework is crucial for success in Kumon. Parents must ensure that children learn to finish their work each day. This, in turn, will create better study habits and ensure steady progress through the levels. Be sure not to allow children to cram all the work into one or two sittings. This will only detract from the effectiveness of the Kumon Method. Initially, it may be necessary to monitor your children’s work. Ensure that they: write their name and the date indicate accurate starting/finishing times If a routine is firmly established, children begin to equate Kumon with regular habits like brushing their teeth or making their bed. Once this is achieved, parents and students are on Happy the track to success. We sincerely appreciate the hard work that you all do to help us help your child become a successful self learner.
