Review: Kumon Thinking Books

Kumon has this amazing set; Kumon Thinking. We got a set of 4 with our 2018 Timberdoodle kit; logic, creativity, differentiation and spatial reasoning. Each one has 36 lessons that start off very simple and get more difficult with each lesson. What I love about Kumon is that in the back of the books they have certificates for completing the books.

Our daughter really enjoys doing these books and always ask to do more. We do 3 lessons a week so one book last a whole 12 weeks for our homeschool. Each lesson is 2 pages long so Kumon has really made it to where your child gets a lot of practice with each skill being taught. I plan on continuing with Kumon books since our daughter likes them so much and I feel she has learned quite a lot from them.

Every state has different laws of what needs to be taught and what you need to do as far as testing. This website is very helpful for information by state. You’ll need to get a curriculum that you feel well be a good fit for your family. There are religious and secular (non-religious) curriculums. I have chosen Timberdoodle. They are a hands-on curriculum, offer both religious and non, you can customize your kits and they even have a scheduler to help you know what needs to get done each week.

Here is what we do for preschool. I did these myself; it’s not Timberdoodle.

Daily Schedule: Toddler

She doesn’t wake during the night or take naps because then she’ll stay up forever.
