[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question here...our DS  (7) isdelayed in all areas but is learning. He is an intensive reading program at school that we supplement at home. He is making progress. He is not progressing in math- our school has no special resources for slow math learners. The curriculum is EveryDay Math which uses a spiral approach rather than stick to one subject til mastery. The principal said part of the problem is the lack of repetition. Do you parents who have used Kumon for math believe that it would be beneficial for our son?[/quote]

PP, I could have written this myself except my DS is 11 and in 5th grade at a very well regarded MoCo public.  He has an IEP and we have been paying A LOT of money for a tutor for a full year -  which has gotten us nowhere.  $600 a month.

His weakness is in basic math facts - multiplication etc.  cannot get anywhere in math without these basic math facts.   He is also behind in reading, especially in the area of making inferences. We just let the tutor go, and I have purchased Raz Kids and digital flash cards.  he reads two short books per night and takes a quiz on each (raz kids) and then does math drills for about 20 mins. We are seriously considering Kumon for him because of its emphasis on constant drilling of basic facts.  I have done a ton of research on this and Kumon seems to be what he needs.
