[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am considering tutoring for my 1st grader who loves math, but is struggling with reading and writing.  Does anyone have experience with these programs and can compare them? I am looking for reading only, but perhaps he would enjoy the math component as a 'reward' for working hard on reading?  I initially was going to find a one-on-one tutor, but a friend suggested E.nopi.

Also, does anyone know how E.nopi/Kumon math compare with the Everyday Math curriculum? I don't want to confuse DS with a different methodology. Thanks in advance.[/quote]

Some children struggle with reading if the school does not teach phonics. Kumon teaches phonics and makes it very easy and pleasant to learn for children who do not have any other issues. 
The math program fits with any curriculum.
I had older adopted children who spoke no english and they liked doing both english and math Kumon. It gave them time to practice- which they needed. Both excelled at english and math after 4 years in the usa. They did Kumon for less than 2 years. 
I am so grateful to kumon- its affordable and really gets results.

I could not agree more. My child is a 3rd grader and a struggling reader and I do believe its because her school only teaches how to teach by sight words, not phonetically. Kumon has been a blessing. Most schools are not teaching kids to read phonetically, so it explains why some kids struggle. We also do Kumon for math and its a program that we have been very happy with.[/quote]
