Laith
This is from mid-2022, shared by Kumon in honor of our Kumon Hero. Now, in January 2025, he is excelling in both reading and math at Kumon, performing three years ahead of his grade level. Proud of you —wishing you continued success and blessings!
Laith is a 9-years-old, studying above his grade level at Kumon. When he started his Kumon journey 3 years ago, his parents wanted him to develop a solid foundation in reading. He started off working with sight words and phonics and has made steady progress ever since. Laith’s work ethic and patience during the learning process are among many great qualities he possesses which make him a great example of a self-learner.
After Laith succeeded with the reading program and started material above his grade level, his parents enrolled him in math. His math has improved rapidly because he has acquired study skills that have carried over from his Kumon reading experience. His work skills, learning attitude, and study approach are excellent.
When faced with a new challenge, be it a math problem or a tricky text, it’s easy to get a little frustrated when the answer doesn’t come quickly. Laith doesn’t get frustrated when he encounters a challenging question. It is during these moments that he shines! While he is never afraid to ask a question when he has one, it is plain to see how he tries his best to figure out things on his own during the learning process because he knows the answer is never beyond his reach! Laith also has a great attitude and listens to teacher feedback really well. He adopts an open mindset, recognizing mistakes as learning opportunities. As an amazing self-learner, when Laith encounters a new concept, he tries to look at and understand the example carefully and learn from the worksheets independently.
One of Laith favorite hobbies is soccer. As you can tell from the picture, he has some great skills he has honed through hours of consistent and focused practice! Actually, many members or our Kumon family are talented in sports and have developed great time management skills that enable them to fulfill their academic and athletic goals. Whether your child loves music, sports, art or llama racing, Kumon will not only help sharpen math and reading skills, but also foster intrinsic motivation and boost confidence so that your child knows success is never beyond their grasp.
