Kumon English
Hi
I know criticisms of Kumon already, but I wanted to ask parents of children doing Kumon at the moment - how far ahead is your child in Maths compared to what they are doing in school?
What are the pros and cons of the process? I don't mind marking my son's completed work.
Thank you.

Re: Kumon English
Sorry. I was asking about Maths and English in different forums.
We are thinking about starting Kumon for both. Is attention to detail better as a result of Kumon?

If yes, then I'd say nothing beats a good 11+ tutor.
If not, then go give Kumon a try. What's to lose?

Yes, it is to prep for 11+ and to help him get ahead in Maths and English. He is too young for a tutor.KaB£H1s3 wrote:Is it for 11 plus?East-West Parenting wrote:Hi

We used Kumon books at home, never went to the centre.
The books themselves are OK. I wouldn't personally reply entirely on Kumon, I think the CGP KS2 books are better
