Are There Alternatives To The Kumon Program Such As Math Worksheets?
Hi:
Have you tried http://www.lymboo.com ? It’s an online alternative to Kumon. The curriculum is comprehensive, and the structure is designed to promote long-term retention. The assignments are rich in basic concepts, word problems, and critical thinking exercises. Every topic is broken in to easy to grasp concepts so that children can become independent learners. The website is very easy to use.
Advantages over Kumon:
1. Online – it’s convenient. No grading by parents. All performance reports are available instantly online.
2. Free diagnostic tests – determines where the students begins the program
3. Daily assignments – requires almost full score and within recommended time limit
4. Periodic spiral review assignments – to reinforce and retain what was learned earlier. Very important!
5. Cost – fraction of Kumon!
Check it out.

Although the Kumon program is fairly unique there are several websites that offer online printable mathematics worksheets. Many of these websites offer them by school year, and by concepts to be learnt. These can provide an alternative for a dedicated parent. Kumon themselves also publish a huge range of Kumon workbooks for children to complete at home without actually following the Kumon program. Whilst these are not as comprehensive as the kumon program itself they are substantially cheaper and are a good substitute for someone looking for a cost effective alternative. These are available to purchase through Amazon. Please click on the links included in this page to view or buy the workbooks available, it is very likely that there would be something to suit your child. If you cannot find the book/grade available please click on one of the other workbooks and you will be taken to an Amazon page where you can view all of the Amazon workbooks.
