BEYOND GRAMMAR: CULTIVATING ADVANCED READING AND SELF-LEARNING WITH THE KUMON ENGLISH PROGRAMME
In today’s global landscape, English is more than just a subject—it’s a critical tool for academic success, future careers and global communication. The Kumon English Programme is designed not just to teach the language but to foster high-level reading ability and the essential skill of self-learning, regardless of your child’s background.
Kumon Malaysia offers two distinct yet equally powerful streams to cater to every student’s needs: English as a Native Language (EE) and English as a Foreign Language (EFL).
- English as a Native Language (EE)
This programme is for students who already have a strong foundation in English. The goal is to cultivate high-level reading ability and critical thinking.
Focus: Improving reading comprehension skills to a critical level, focusing on complex literary passages, summarisation and critique.
Method: Exposure to a wide range of books and texts, enabling students to read advanced materials independently and confidently.
- English as a Foreign Language (EFL)
This programme is specifically designed for non-native English speakers. The goal is to develop an advanced level of English reading comprehension starting from the fundamentals.
Focus: Gradual development of listening, speaking, reading and grammar skills.
Method: Students are provided with daily audio tracks for listening and pronunciation practice. The worksheets and CD textbooks include native language translations (like Bahasa Malaysia) for new words, making the learning process less intimidating and highly effective.
The Unmatched Benefits of Learning English with Kumon
INDIVIDUALISED STUDY: Kumon’s core principle is starting at the “just-right” level. An initial diagnostic test determines your child’s current ability, allowing them to progress systematically in small steps. This ensures thorough mastery of each concept before advancing, boosting confidence and preventing frustration.
FOCUS ON SELF-LEARNING: The meticulously designed worksheets are structured to enable students to think, explore and solve problems independently. Examples and explanations are provided in the worksheets, training your child to read, process information and find the answers on their own. This crucial skill is transferable to all academic subjects and life skills.
DAILY CONSISTENCY: The programme requires completing a small amount of work (about 30 minutes) every day. This daily routine builds discipline, concentration and excellent time management skills, which is the cornerstone of success in school and beyond.
VOCABULARY & COMPREHENSION MASTERY: Students gradually build a vast vocabulary and move from tracing words and learning phonics to mastering sentence structure, paragraph building and eventually critiquing sophisticated literary works.
Kumon doesn’t just drill vocabulary; it builds the necessary reading foundation and learning mindset that prepares a child for the rigorous demands of secondary school and university. By fostering independence and continuous advancement, Kumon equips your child with the skills to excel beyond their school grade level.
