Kumon Center of Howell, New Jersey Homegrading Guidelines
Mistakes are opportunities to learn! An essential part of a successful Kumon student is a supportive parent who homegrades assignments.
Why is home grading so important to Kumon students?
Prompt correction is one of the keys to mastering concepts. Learning from a mistake while the problem is still fresh in your child's mind is the most efficient route to understanding.
How long will it take me to grade?
Just 10 minutes a day is all you need. Grading is simple and straightforward. Your child gets immediate feedback and you see exactly how your child is progressing.
How do children feel about home grading?
Children focus better when they know they will be graded right away. They also thrive on immediate feedback, support and encouragement. Kumon gives you a daily opportunity to praise your child!
How to Grade a Worksheet
100% Correct
A circle indicates 100% on this side of a worksheet.
We use this notation on every page that has been corrected. This keeps us from regrading a page again accidently!Partial Error
This indicates there is a
"partial error". In reading this means a punctuation, capitalization, or spelling error.
Only 5 points are deducted from the worksheet score for each partial error. This method of notation helps children become good at self-editing. They have to figure out what they did or did not do on the question. In math a partial could mean the fraction needs to be reduced more or a problem is skipped. It counts as a full wrong in math.
•Your child's instructor will give you an answer book covering the assigned worksheets. (Note: there are no answer books below level 3A in Math and Level 2A in Reading)
• If a side has no errors, draw a big cirlce on that side
• Check or X incorrect answers over the number of that problem
•Add up all the incorrect/skipped/incomplete answers from both sides of the worksheet
• Circle the percentage on the grading scale that corresponds to the total number of mistakes.
