  1. Pewter68 –

    Overall, a Good FindI believe that the “Kumon Reading” series of workbooks are fairly new. Kumon is predominately known for their Math program and set of Math workbooks. However, my student used to be enrolled in the actual Kumon program at a local Kumon learning center, and so we are familiar with both programs as a result. I’m really happy that Kumon decided to mass market their methods in workbook form, that anyone may purchase at a store or over the internet. It’s far cheaper, and that works for us. I’m sold on their methodology: incremental, sequential, repetitive learning. Students rarely understand a concept the first time, and will never gain confidence in their own abilities unless they are exposed to concepts again and again.Kumon has attempted through their Reading workbooks to repeat the success of their established Math workbook series. What Kumon has done with the Reading workbooks is to basically abbreviate their Kumon Reading program into a usable workbook. This workbook goes beyond reading comprehension and really attempts to drill down to sequencing the events in a reading passage, learning how to define a word by the context in which it is used, and to critically analyze reading passages for contrasting and descriptive content, among other concepts.This workbook goes beyond just reading a passage. As we all know, reading should be about critically thinking about a concept or a story. Kumon really works on addressing reading skills in a way that all students can find a good starting point, and building upon knowledge from there.One important point to remember about these Kumon workbooks: if your child/student has difficulty with one level of workbooks, then simply drop back to another grade of workbooks. The goal of any educational program is not to overwhelm the student, but to build student confidence. If your student is not able to grasp this Grade 3 Reading workbook, then drop back to a Grade 2 Reading workbook. If your student breezes through this Grade 3 book, then move your student on to Grade 4.We use this workbook as a supplemental tool for my student’s reading program. My student has mastered phonics, and is comfortable discussing a reading passage in detail. I really wanted to add another layer to her reading program, and this meets our needs. Overall, a good find.

    Works for what we need.Though I like the Kumon math workbook series better, this works for supplementing beyond what my child is learning in school. I have a 1st grader that is doing beyond first grade work and this book is easy for my child to understand and follow along.

  3. VariMommy09 –

    Great Supplemental SourceMy son who is 6.5 and starts 2nd grade in the Fall is not an avid reader (he turns 7 in December). In fact, he acts like its pulling teeth :(. Although he is a year ahead and his reading is on a 3rd grade level, his comprehension is only on a mid second grade level. I bought this book to work through during after school and in the summer. I love the layout of this book. The passages are just the right length and the questions are not too difficult; however, he would have to comprehend both the directions and passage in order to answer the questions correctly unlike other comprehension books that pretty much have the answer in the sentence. My son flies through those books because they don’t require comprehension just good test taking skills. He works on these sheet daily. I plan on moving on to grade 4 once he starts second grade. Would definitely recommend this book for those looking to assist their child in comprehension. There are sections for compare/contrast, context clues, comprehension, fill in the blank, charts, crossword puzzles, making predictions, sequencing and much more. I also like that my son is still getting some challenging reading in as well! Great job Kumon. (I am also a fan of their Math books. My son is working on grade 3 addition and subtraction and has started on my simple multiplication).

    Great GuidanceEvery summer I buy workbooks for my two boys. This year I chose Kumon, I purchase the whole collection of Grade 4 for my son going into 4th grade and the whole collection of Grade 3 (thinking Grade 2 would be too easy) for my son going into 2nd grade. Later on I found that my younger son had difficulties in some areas in Grade 3 so I bought Grade 2.This has been a great guidance for my kids and I. The books helped my kids learn step by step and I really do see improvements. Its great for me, I simply use the answer sheet to correct and it helps me find out what their weaknesses are. Overall I really like Kumon workbooks compare to previous companies that I have purchased because I do see improvements. Next year I will purchase Kumon again.

  5. Michaela Baker –

    Perfect for teaching at homeI got this to give my son a head start for 3rd grade during the summer and it has been great. It explains each lesson and makes it easy to understand. I love that it focuses on understanding of text instead of just teaching kids how to read a word. Plenty of work to complete unlike other workbooks. Would recommend to any parent trying to home school.

  6. Savvy Shopper –

    Best reading-help books ever!We had a struggling 3rd grader in the family who was only reading at the 2nd grade level. After requiring him to spend 45 minutes everyday reading (over months), and buying him flash-card exercises, his reading improved, but he still wasn’t able to comprehend what he was reading. Then I bought him 3 of these Kumon books. The exercises made all the difference. Lots of variety to not only improve what he was reading, but he was able to paraphrase the contents of the reading afterwards. Success!! He was just reassessed at school, and he has now achieved 3rd grade reading and comprehension skills. When riding in the car the other night with his Mom, he blurted out, “Huh!” His Mom asked, “What’s that about?” He said, “We’ve gone by that restaurant several times (a place that’s famous for their homemade breads), and I was never able to read their sign before. It says, “Eat at Fayzes, You’ll love our buns.” They both laughed, and they were both sooooo proud.

  7. KatMom –

    PREPARE YOUR CHILD FOR STANDARDIZED TESTS!!My 3rd grade son is struggling a bit when it comes to his reading skills. It is also the FIRST time that the school district we live in is forcing our children to start taking standardized tests in 3rd grade (they used to not have to take them til 6th grade!!). My son’s teacher suggested these Kumon books so that my son would have a better chance at passing his tests. After all, if they DONT pass the standardized tests then they are NOT allowed to go on to the 4th grade!! This book will give him the extra boost he needs! I would suggest it to ANY parent whose child is struggling a bit….or even to just give your child that extra “edge” needed to succeed. 🙂

    good to buyjust a practice book. what else u.want to.expect? good enough

  9. Sharon D –

    Mix It UpOverall, this is a very good workbook. The lessons are just the right length and challenge the child adequately.I used this workbook while tutoring a third grade student who was having some reading problems related to her inability to pay attention. On the nights when she was able to focus she was appropriately challenged. The only problem we had was boredom when there were several similar lessons together.I would recommend this book for a child at or just below the third grade reading level.

  10. Blues –

    fun and useful bookGood book with good materials and nice art design.

  11. Janelle Butler –

    It is perfect for “filling in the gaps” for my sonI have ordered all the books in the 3rd and 4th grade series…math and reading/writing. After I ordered 2 books, I was so impressed that I wanted them all. It is perfect for “filling in the gaps” for my son. He can work at his own pace and continue learning throughout the summer. We are going to continue with these books throughout the school year. I would highly recommend these books to any parent who wants to help their child make major improvements in reading and math.

  12. Alisson Leech –

    Your child will learn!My 3rd grader’s reading level significantly increased within months due to this book! He’s almost done with 3rd grade and will move on up to the 4th grade book. I just started my 5th grader on the books. Will continue during summer vacation. We have the math books too.

  13. Wes –

    My sons love it! They actually wanted to do moreMy sons love it! They actually wanted to do more! Thank you for taking the guess work out of summer education!

I told her teacher about them thinking that this should be implemented it schools. My daughter thinks that they are so fun and she is learning lots. I highly recommend these books to any parent/guardian, teacher, or tutor.

  15. Reader from SF –

    Great study supplement!Purchased this book for my almost 8 yr old, it is probably a little more difficult then the material he’s going through in school; that was my intention and we found it a fabulous supplement to his school work. he loves the books and they way they’re structured (especially the points system); we love the way the material is organized (they move slowly from less to more difficult reading) and the fact that he’s building up his vocabulary and comprehension skills. Highly recommend Kumon books!

  16. FWIW –

    Glad I got it!Great supplemental learning tool for 8 to 9 year old.

  17. SHAR –

    Great book!My 8 year old daughter was having some trouble in reading comprehension. She dive into this boom is almost finished with it and she has improved on her reading comprehension skills. This book is excellent.

  21. maryam –

    Too easyIt’s a good book, butIt’s not that challenging and my son did half the book and I guess he just learned 3-4 new words from the lessons. He is going to 3th grade this fall and he is an average kid. I guess only the last 20 lessons are good. The rest are too easy

  22. RJK –

    So far so goodGood quality and I liked what I saw so far. I’m going to use this as my summer supplement so I will come back with a full review in a couple months.

    英検2級以上の単語がたくさん紙面にある英文はすべて音読する。日本人向けのドリルより、自然な英文がたくさん。文法的には英検3級レベルです。自然な英文に慣れるにはとてもいいです。接頭辞、接尾辞、類義語、対義語、前後の文脈から知らない単語の意味を推測する、などを学んで、語彙を増やしていけます。日本の中学では、習う単語数が少なすぎると思います。一文一文をきっちり分析し、日本語に訳し教えるので増やせないような気がします。このドリルでは、細かすぎる文法はちょっと置いといて、150語位の短い文章をどんどん読んでいって、英語のリズムに慣れ、語彙を増やしていく事が出来ます。少しレベルの高い単語が出てくると、簡単な英語での説明があり、単語と説明を結びつける設問が用意されています。短い文章の中にでてくる、知らない単語の意味を、接頭辞や接尾辞の知識を動員し、文脈からも推測し、語彙を増やしていく。また、音節に分解してある単語のパーツを並べ替えて正しい単語にするページもあります（意味のある文の中で、１つだけ単語が空白になっていて、音節分解されているのです）。我が子は英語圏への旅行経験もなく、外での英語活動は公立小学校の授業だけです。英語を喋れない母親と、地道に家で取り組んでいます。このワークはwritingのgrade3と共に5回繰り返す予定です。小5の3月から開始（1年かけて2冊する）予定。grade2と違い、イラストが減り、最初2割だけがフルカラー、残り8割は2色刷りになります。
