Reading books is an important part of a child's development. Here are nine reasons why, courtesy of Kumon.
We all want our kids to succeed at school, and helping them with their homework is one way to achieve that. But finding that perfect balance between helping them out and letting them learn on their own is no easy feat.
Study groups encourage new friendships, build camaraderie and improve academic success. Organizing a productive study group takes a little planning and supervision on the parent's part, but once the group's underway, it can make the learning process fun and productive.

"Test time!" Those two words can strike fear into the hearts of even the most prepared students -- not to mention their parents. We asked the experts for advice.
With a little planning and care this school year, you and your family can develop the right goals for your student. Accomplishing these goals will provide continued motivation and self-confidence throughout the entire year.
