Corrections/Home Grading
The active supervision of daily assignments at home is linked to each child's
success in the KUMON program.
It is crucial that parents provide a 15-20 minute block of time per subject
for the completion and correction of daily KUMON assignments.
It is the job of the parents to insure that assignments are timed, that
errors are marked, and that mistakes are corrected by the student before
beginning new work.
All parents are expected to home grade their child's KUMON homework. Students
whose parents' home grade make faster, smoother progress through the KUMON
program because:
- your child corrects their mistakes daily, thus
learning from their mistakes and making fewer mistakes overall
- your child repeats less
- your child is more motivated because you are involved
- you are more motivated because you know exactly what
your child is doing
A basic tenet of the KUMON Method is that students learn from their
mistakes. KUMON students are required to correct every mistake on every set
they complete. Students whose parents do not home grade
spend a great deal of
time in class correcting mistakes from old homework before they can begin the
days' class work. This often leads to an extended stay at the center. Students
are also required to correct all mistakes on their daily class work, as well.

get started if you are not already home grading.
