This book is good.I was confident that my son can get through the basics of basic Math : Addition , subtraction and Multiplication without spending the $130 a month on Kumon class. A year full of Addition and subtraction is a reasonable time frame, more is just fine. After few years of Kumon books This book has nice addition sheets ,beginning with easy exercises and moving up with increasing complexity ,but the sheets are too little before the kid is expected to go to next level ( adding from 5+4 > 14+9 in few days ) .MY METHODOLOGY:I found this technique very effective, and so sharing with you. Do not have them write on the book itself, InsteadDAY ONE : Make photocopy of page no 1, 2,3,4 and 5DAY TWO : Skip Page number one, add Page number 6 and so on.Revisit earlier exercises if Kid is not comfortable, and then spin the wheels again.BACKGROUND:I have two kids , one who attended Kumon classes and another who is doing Kumon at home, courtesy of all the books out there. Since both of them are few years into Kumon, wanted to share my experiences and probably help few young parents who might be debating sending their kids to Kumon vs teach at home.A FRIENDLY NOTE TO PARENTS:Kids will enjoy Kumon, and will feel proud of the accomplishment.Kumon is all about consistency and regularity. What is important is you got to make the kid completed targeted number of worksheets every single day ; Meaning Sunday, Christmas, Thanksgiving. Let them do 5 -10 minutes of Kumon before you leave the hotel to Disneyland (It is not cruel, your kid's competitor is an unknown chubby face in Singapore or skinny dry haired boy from India,not your neighbor's kid with top level expertise in XBox).
