Giggles & Sugar Kisses was given the opportunity to review several groups of books by Kumon Publishing Company. Kumon focuses on basic learning skills for childen aged 2 through 6. They cover everything from the alphabet, reading, counting, tracing, basic addition and subtraction to scissor skills. Kumon’s workbooks are unique. They use a step by step approach, so children can master one skill before moving to another. Their learning system was developed in Japan by Toru Kumon 50 years ago. Mr. Kumon wanted his son to do better in school, so he developed workbooks to help his son. By the sixth grade, his son could do calculus. His techniques have been proven. Kumon currently has learning centers in 44 contries.

All the preK-K books would be great, but I bet my oldest would really love the mazes!
The telling time and money. My oldest found these concepts a little difficult.
mj.coward@gmail dot com
WOW! They have so many amazing books! I love the first mazes..and the cutting..and pasting…and the coloring ones! Thanks so much for the chance!
The first steps workbooks. So many fine motor skills to work on and most items on the market are for older children.
My six year old has asked for an allowance for doing his chores. I told him before we would discuss that he had to learn to count money.
# My First Book of Money: Counting Coins
# My Book of Money: Dollars & Cents
These would be very helpful to him.
Thank you,

I have heard good things about this company before. I would be most interested in the WORDS category of the workbooks as I work with young children teaching them to read. They need these basic skills, and these books would be very helpful.
Thanks so much!!
