Kumon Cabramatta Education Centre

As an organisation, Kumon provides supplementary, after-school learning programmes for children. Spread across 57 countries, our learning method aims to foster sound, capable individuals who are able to independently carve out a path for themselves in life.

At Kumon we are dedicated to fully pursuing the potential of each individual student.

Kumon Instructors provide just enough guidance for their students to be able to do the exercises on their own. Our programmes aim to furnish students with the ability to advance to high school level material through self-learning as early as possible in life. Kumon students study independently from an early age and develop both a high level of academic ability and the ability to learn independently, or what we at Kumon refer to as ‘self-learning’ ability. As a result, our students build self-esteem, learn that they can do anything if they try, and develop the ability to take on new challenges for themselves.

The Kumon Programmes aim to develop:

○ Calculation ability and reading ability

○ Concentration

○ Discipline to maintain a daily study and reading habit

○ Confidence to learn independently.

★ MATHS

The Kumon Maths programme develops quick, precise calculation skills necessary for the study of high school mathematics. Only topics essential for high school mathematics are included. They include number recognition, counting and writing; the four basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division; fractions and decimals; algebra, equations, functions and calculus.

Each worksheet builds on what has come before and prepares students for what comes next. Students progress step by step, towards the goal of advanced high school mathematics.

★ ENGLISH

The Kumon English worksheets develop a high level of reading comprehension ability. To inspire students to read widely, the worksheets contain more extracts from published texts than any other reading programme in the world.

They are arranged in order of increasing difficulty, from the simplest to the most complex. Audio files support the student’s progress, as do Kumon’s recommended reading lists.

★ JAPANESE

Kumon Japanese aims for mastery of advanced reading comprehension skills, which enable students to fluently read Japanese texts.

Kumon Japanese has links to the Japanese Language Proficiency Tests, conducted each year throughout the world by the Japanese Ministry of Education. Thereby, Kumon Japanese students are able to acquire internationally recognised qualifications.

Kumon Japanese is comprised of fifteen levels of worksheets that are designed for students to learn step-by-step. CDs recorded by native Japanese speakers ensure students hear correct pronunciation of words.

After mastering hiragana and katakana (phonetic alphabets), students progress to the study of kanji (Chinese characters) and more complex sentence structures.

★ KOKUGO

Kumon Kokugo is a language programme designed for children whose native language is Japanese. The programme assumes native Japanese fluency.

Furthermore, students who have completed Kumon Japanese can then progress to Kumon Kokugo.

Kumon Kokugo enhances vocabulary acquisition through development of advanced reading and writing skills.

★ PENCIL SKILLS

The Pencil Skills Programme is a supplementary programme that supports the development of students’ ability to control a pencil.

Pencil Skills includes the ability to hold a pencil securely and correctly, to use consistent writing pressure, to control the start and end of lines, to draw straight lines, to draw curved lines and to draw lines within narrow spaces.

The worksheets are intended to be fun and to be studied by preschoolers. The Pencil Skills Programme consists of two levels, ZI and ZII, with 100 worksheets in each level.

Therefore, the Pencil Skills programme is usually studied as a prelude to Kumon Maths and/or Kumon English. Acquiring Pencil Skills supports the smooth development of students’ progress in their main Kumon Maths and/or English programme.
