"I get the most satisfaction from seeing someone who first came to Kumon struggling with maths develop into a capable mathematician with the confidence and study skills to tackle any problem."
The Kumon English Programme
English, history, law…essays, emails, books…
The ability to process written information is essential in our everyday lives. And the more accomplished your child is at this, the better they will do at school and the more opportunities they will have in the future.
Our English programme has two central aims:
- to develop each child's ability to read and understand a wide variety of language
- to nurture in each child a life-long habit of reading for both education and enjoyment
The English programme has 18 levels, containing either 200 or 400 worksheets. Our popular Recommended Reading List also motivates students to develop their skills and expand their interests by encouraging a wide range of reading.
