Kumon Math & Reading Center of Reading
About
The Kumon Math & Reading Center of Reading is a local franchise of Kumon, the after-school math and reading enrichment program used by students worldwide. It serves children from preschool through high school, aiming to build both academic skills and confidence. Students work through individualized, self-paced worksheet assignments, advancing to new material once they have mastered the current level, so they can catch up, keep pace or move ahead of their school grade.
Kumon was founded in Japan in 1954 by Toru Kumon, a math teacher who created worksheets to help his son, and it has since grown into one of the largest after-school learning programs in the world. The method emphasizes short daily practice, concentration and independent study habits. Students visit the center for sessions with instructors and complete assignments at home on the remaining days of the week.
