A: The hardest part is that part which makes the program work: the daily assignments. For Kumon to be the most effective, it must be done daily. The daily work is not onerous: only about ten to fifteen minutes is required per subject per day. But just as in brushing teeth or eating vegetables, a little bit of something good for you each day is optimal. You can’t expect to eat a week’s worth of vegetables on one day and have nearly the benefit you would have from a little each day. You wouldn’t brush your teeth really hard two days a week and expect the same benefit you get from daily brushing.

Kumon is about discipline. And part of that discipline is doing the work each day, and grading and correcting it the same day, preferably at the same sitting.

This daily study is not a random requirement but is based on important science of the neurophysiology of the brain. This area of study is called "Forgetting Curves." You can google this term to find more or simply read here. This will help you to understand how important it is that your child do Kumon daily.
