The Kumon Method enables children to progress successfully, by practicing material until concepts are mastered, and by advancing in small, manageable steps.
Peter will be four this month. We did the first 7 lessons in one sitting. I think he was ready. I will probably erase all of the pages when he is done and have my 2 year old do the pagers again.
I'm not sure how tough o should be on his pencil grip. He tries it my way and then switches to the whole fist approach.
The funny thing is that he learned about the eraser. I told him it was only for mistakes. So after drawing a perfectly straight line, he'd draw an "oops" line just so he could erase it. Funny boy!
