Through daily practice, students increase confidence, improve concentration and develop better study skills.

"It's important to remember that a child doesn't necessarily need to study harder or for longer hours," said Dr. Mary Mokris, manager of materials for Kumon North America. "Instead, children just need to study smarter. Developing study habits that go beyond what is done in the classroom goes a long way to ensuring academic success."
