My daughter loves the Kumon workbooks. She spends time, on her own without prompting from me, working in her workbooks. She has requested the 3rd grade Kumon workbooks (she is now in 2nd grade) because she wants to make sure she has them when she starts 3rd grade in September. They are basic, simple, and easy to follow.
Much better than the kumon addition book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is much better than the kumon: addition book and the Kumon:simple addition book. Just skip those two books in the series, and just buy this one. In this book, in each two pay layout, the problems are divided into 4 sections. If the child is older, they could do all 4 sections. The first two sections are 2 pt. per problem. The 3rd and 4th section are 3 pts per problem. The total is 100 pts. For a younger child, the pts can be skipped, but for my 2nd grader that needs to work on his basic addition facts, he likes me to time him and give him a score. My son did not like the Kumon:simple addition and kumon: addition book, and he never wanted to work on them during kindergarten or 1st grade. Seeing a whole page full of problems was too daunting of a task. Breaking up the problems into 4 sections is better, because it is less scary to the child. I set the timer for 5 minutes, but ideally I want him to finish between 2 - 3 minutes. This is a 1st grade book, and he is a 2nd grader. We are working on speed now. By being able to break up the pages by half or 1/4, I can adjust the amount of problems assigned to keep him within our target goal. Or I could use the first section for learning the material, and then the other sections for timed work. Anyway, this Kumon book is worth the money.
