This summer will be four years since my kids have attended Kumon- they happen to do reading and math - you do not need to do both, but i believe that Kumon has helped them so much so that they consistently score high on their school math scores and their HW is easy for them. The reading they have done at Kumon has helped them become good readers and critical thinkers. Steve has always been flexible and helpful with helping my kids attain their goals and he has always replied to my emails and questions so quickly and helpful with any work or questions that we have had.
