Sugantha Moorthy, PhD Kumon Math & Reading Center of Alpharetta – Holcomb Bridge 8420 Holcomb Bridge Road [email protected] Instructor Phone # 470 336 3226 https://www.kumon.com/alpharetta-holcomb-bridge In-center classes - Thu - 3 PM to 7 PM, Sat - 10 AM to 2 PM Virtual classes - Mon & Tue - 3 PM to 7 PM Preschool Math In the levels of the Kumon Math Program that correspond with preschool learning, students deepen their understanding of the number sequence, helping them develop the skills they’ll need when they learn addition and subtraction. Students first learn to recite and write numbers, and then progress to counting. Once students have strengthened their counting skills and number sense, they begin adding, setting them up to tackle elementary school math topics. Preschool Reading In the levels of the Kumon Reading Program that correspond with preschool learning, students progress from pre-reading skills to basic reading and writing. In the first two levels, they repeat and recite words, learning to associate spoken words with their written form. Next, they learn letter sounds and begin to write letters, then learn letter combinations and start reading. By the time they’ve finished the first few levels of the program, they should be able to understand and write short sentences, preparing them for elementary reading topics. Elementary School Math In the levels of the Kumon Math Program that correspond with elementary school, students deepen their understanding of the four basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Students get started with single digits and progress to challenging problems as they advance through the levels. Once students are confident in the four operations, they move on to simple fractions, setting them up to tackle middle school math topics. Elementary School Reading In the levels of the Kumon Reading Program that correspond with elementary school, students progress from understanding word functions to reading aloud and improving reading comprehension. They advance from understanding word and sentence structure to mastering paragraph structure and comprehension. Students begin to identify core concepts and main ideas of text to expand their love for reading, preparing them to tackle more advance concepts in middle school reading. Middle School Math In the levels of the Kumon Math Program that correspond with middle school, students become more familiar with fractions and decimals by using them in word problems and calculating positive and negative numbers. They are introduced to algebraic expressions before learning about equations and linear functions. Once students have strengthened their knowledge of equations and linear functions, they begin working on expansion, factorization and the square roots, setting them up to tackle high school math topics. Middle School Reading In the levels of the Kumon Reading Program that correspond with middle school, students advance their reading and writing skills by learning how to answer questions about text. They will begin to dive deeper into a text to develop their own opinion while also considering an outsider’s opinion to obtain a broader view of perspectives. This will lead students into identifying the central idea of a passage which will help to draw reasoned conclusions. Once students have a solid understanding of the main idea of a text, they will begin to summarize one paragraph of a passage, setting them up to tackle high school reading topics.
