Kumon Make a Match Workbooks Cursive Writing Workbooks

Sharpen concentration skills while having fun
The abilit y to concentrate is a significant factor
in determining your child’s academic success. Kumon Make a Match
Workbooks help your child improve their concentration and fine motor
control skills while learning about animals, plants, insects and more. On
each page, children time themselves as they successfully match the beau-
tifully illustrated objects. By timing and tracking their progress, children
see their skills improve and are motivated to increase their speed and
complete the book. Children will also love the glossary section, where
they can learn fun facts about animals and objects featured in the book.
Each Make a Match Workbook is 8 ½ x 11 inches, paperback, 80 pages,
full color, and retails at US$6.95 and C$7.95. Available June 2011.
Let your child amaze you
Kumon Cursive writing Workbooks use our unique
Kumon Method to help your child learn this challenging skill. The Kumon
Method is a step-by-step, incremental approach that helps children learn
at their own pace, and without anxiety. In our Cursive Writing Workbooks,
children first practice basic pencil control and master the strokes that are
the building blocks for cursive writing. Children then learn to recognize
and write individual letters, and finally, link letters together to write com-
plete words. We have divided uppercase cursive letters and lowercase cursive letters into separate books so that children
receive sufficient practice and master the skill. Each Kumon Cursive Writing Workbook is 8 ½ x 11 inches, color, 80 pages,
and retails at US $6.95 and C $7.95. Available August 2011.
