How do you determine where a child starts in the Kumon curriculum?
A student begins the program with a placement test to determine a starting level in the Kumon curriculum. Since children absorb knowledge at different rates, the starting level is not based on a childs age or grade but on individual ability. The starting point is set at a level where the assignments can be easily completed. This way students experience success right from the start and have a positive first reaction to the program. This comfortable starting point helps students build confidence, develop concentration and establish a daily study routine.
