Many kumon parents asked how to get their child to start the love for reading.
Aiden Khoo, my own son started by watching a Captain Underpants cartoon movie, and from then on, I started introducing him to the Captain Underpants comic book series. He started from there, and eventually progressed to reading other books that piqued his interest. ( video - throwback from 2017, Year 1)
He started the Kumon English program in Year 1 and completed the entire program by the time he was in Year 7. He started with reading fluency skills, followed by comprehension, spelling, vocabulary, grammar and eventually the ability to write essays.
Fast forward to today, he’s in Year 11, doing ATAR English, helping me out at my centre, tutoring others and aspiring young students to excel well in their studies.
