Downpour of knowledge this summer

MANILA, Philippines - For kids, the heat of summer finally saying its greetings can only mean one thing: School work is out as ideas to fill the days with fun and play are finally in!

Studies show that most students experience learning losses during summer vacation. Because of the never-ending ways of finding amusement and the notion that everything else less fun can be put off until later, studying is almost always at the end of children’s to-do list. There’s nothing wrong with having two months’ worth of endless fun if the next 10 months of school are not going to suffer. But the bad news is that it never happens that way.

The brain needs regular workout, too, as much as the entire body does. By constantly feeding information to the brain and applying practical lessons, people can enjoy improved comprehension, enhanced analytical skills, and faster thinking process. But when brain activity is left stagnant, students and adults alike become more prone to mental decline which can possibly lead to kids performing poorly in school or even in simple daily tasks.

The answer is to let them experience the Kumon method. Open even during the summer season, it helps students to get prepared for the school year ahead.

Developed more than half a century ago by its founder Toru Kumon, the Kumon math program has already helped millions of students around the world to conquer math.

The Kumon reading program, meanwhile, cultivates your child’s love for reading. Habitual reading fosters creativity and imagination.

Stemming from a father’s love for his son, the method is now shared by millions of students in over 46 countries and regions.
