Grade 4 Reading

Useful

It’s great

These are absolutely fantastic books, especially for holidays. The only drawback may be that the books are too much fun! My son finished all the lessons in one day!

These books are really good for comprehension practice. We attended a Kumon Centre for 2 years but my daughter was really bored with the course work,it was dull and repetitive. These books are more current and interesting. Great value compared to the £65 per month we paid to Kumon.

just as advertised.

I bought this book to work with my child and his tutor and it works wonderfully well so far. The step-by-step approach and kids-friendly oriented pages are good for practice. The book itself is not too long and has enough exercises to keep going for a while. I like the stars feature when you have pages with basic (1 star), standard (2 stars) and advanced (3 stars) for variation within the same grade; already bought Grade 5 and 6, excellent resources.

I ordered the Kumon range of books to help my nine year old son in primary school. Every year his school report at the end of July is average. I'm okay with average. That was until this July, when his report was below average. On parents evening a couple of months before the report, his teacher never indicated that he was heading for a below average grades and he only has homework two night a week that lasts around 20 mins. So over the summer holidays we looked at private holiday and after school tuition, which in my area is about £300 per month. This was a bit pricey for my budget, and as this is primary school work, it is something I should be able to help him with myself. After reading some of the reviews, I purchased the Kumon range for Grade 4 (Grade 4 = Year 4) to help him catch up over summer, and Grade 5 to keep him ahead in the school year. I found the books good at laying the foundations for basic maths and English. My son finds them easy to follow and also enjoys doing them. It is October now and my son is already answering the teachers questions quicker than the 'top table' in his class. Overall, I am very pleased with the Kumon books and hopefully doing this extra homework should reflect in his year 5 report.

Every child needs to be using these products. It is important that the kids stay on top of the standards that have been already established. If the school uses experential teaching methods than the basics are often left out of the daily lesson. That is fine BUT very few schools and parents are keeping up with the basics. This will ensure that they have the tools necessary to participate in higher level thinking tasks.
