When it comes to learning, an easy solution to combat the 'forgetting curve' is daily practice. Psychologists and researchers have proved that spaced repetition helps you retain what you learn for longer periods of time and recall the information from long-term memory, as opposed to short-term memory. Retention also breaks the 'forgetting' pattern by firing neural connections and causing new learning to occur.

Students enrolled in Kumon, the world's largest after-school math and reading program, do daily assignments that take about 30 minutes per subject. They complete two sessions a week at the Kumon Center and the other five at home, gaining confidence as they progress. To encourage continuous summer learning, Kumon is offering free registration at participating learning centers from May 15 -July 7*.

"Studies show that constant and consistent learning is key to academic achievement and this means that children should not let their study routine slip, even during the summer break," said Dominique Ciccarelli, Ed. M., education spokesperson for Kumon North America. "Great sports figures, gifted artists and talented musicians all agree that practice and repetition help them become better at what they do. The same goes for exercising your brain, which is exactly why Kumon believes in continuous learning."

Learning throughout the summer is the key to having a strong start the following school year. Kumon Students experience the benefits of daily practice, which helps them become self-motivated, independent problem solvers.
