After more than 60 years of delivering academic success to children internationally using paper-based programmes in local centres via specialist Instructors, Kumon has developed our unique worksheets into a digital format, using technology to make them even more accessible and convenient for students to study using their tablet and stylus via KUMON CONNECT. The development means that parents, Kumon students and their Instructors can be even more connected, whether they are in class or studying at home.

The stylus moves swiftly on the tablet and allows the child to hand write their calculations and answers just as they would a pencil. The process of writing by hand and making corrections on the page has always been a key part of the Kumon Method. Kumon believe that writing by hand is a more profound cognitive process than keyboarding, as it combines a neurosensory experience with fine motor skills, bringing together both movement and thought, and aiding recall.

For the child, the tablet allows them to study with focus and speed and by having their submitted work marked electronically, they can make any corrections swiftly and neatly. They use KUMON CONNECT in class just as they can with paper worksheets and continue their study at home independently on days in between classes.

Parents have access to their child’s progress and achievements allowing them greater insight into their child’s growth and enabling them to fully support their learning.

The digital service means the Kumon Instructor can replay the student’s work, allowing them further insight into their thinking and the methods they used, truly connecting them both in class and when they’re studying at home. They can send a message of praise or encouragement when required and specifically adjust or set new work for them. This individualised approach to a student’s study is at the heart of the Kumon Method, and KUMON CONNECT further facilitates this connection.

We believe that the relationship between parents and the Kumon Instructor is important for children’s growth, and we aim to provide a learning service with a human touch that allows students to connect deeply using digital technology. The tried-and-tested worksheets are carefully and individually assigned for each child. Being able to offer the Kumon Maths and English programmes digitally means, with KUMON CONNECT, every student’s Kumon Instructor is always by their side.
