Well-rounded book!Bought this for our 6-year old to help with incremental understanding of concepts. School curriculum jumps around and never provides enough repetitive, incremental, practice/learning. Since distance learning & covid have revealed why our kids have been struggling in school we enrolled them in Kumon and have bought all of these Kumon workbooks starting with simple /-, simple sentences, sentences, words, rhyming words/phrases, writing grades 1 & 2, reading grades 1 & 2, counting coins, coins & money, telling time, and now geometry & measurement grades 1 & 2. We weren’t sure what to expect with the Geometry & Measurement books, so we were pleasantly surprised that they cover less/more, grouping concepts, review of time/$, and introduce length, volume & geometric shapes. I’ve decided to start both my 6 & 7 year olds at the beginning of the Kumon workbook series to fill in all learning gaps. They are able to do about 2-3 pages in 4-5 books a day (about 10 pages a day takes them 1-2 hours). So far they’ve completed 4 full books each this month and are learning at a much faster clip now all on their own, no hand-holding! Thank you Kumon for creating an independent learning curriculum with results! Wish I’d known about Kumon when my kids were 3. Glad they are catching up now, thanks to Kumon, as it only gets harder to fill in learning gaps as they get older. Highly recommend these books. Don’t start at whatever grade your child is currently in. Instead, start at the beginning of the series (even if it’s easy) and make sure to correct right away and given immediate feedback once they’ve completed a section, so they can correct bad habits and move smoothly through more difficult concepts later. Directions are clear, simple, and easy for a child to complete on their own. If the directions are confusing then that’s a sign they need to go back a level & have gaps in their learning, because Kumon is a self-directed curriculum that teaches self-learning. Gaps in knowledge prohibit a child to self learn. That’s we have decided to start at the beginning and both our daughters have made significant progress quickly and gained confidence, accuracy, and speed!
