My nieces Em and Michale started Kumon when they were 4~5 years old.
Some facts:
Kumon is the world's largest supplemental education program. The centers are located in worldwide and there about 200,000 students and 1,600 centers in North America.
Math program deals with counting to calculus and Reading deals with phonics to critical analyses of literature.
Kumon's philosophy is that all children have enormous, unseen, untapped potential to learn and to grow.
The goal is to provide each child with the tools, plan and guidance to achieve. Their method is 'practice makes perfect.'(15~20 minutes of homework everyday).
It was started by Toru Kumon who was concerned for his son.
Key principles: Repetition, speed, accuracy, Independent learning skills, advancing beyond grade level
"Student read aloud to instructors which provides an opportunity to correct pronunciation and check on understanding. Timed reading passages are included for building reading fluency. Comprehension questions are used to develop critical thinking skills.
