The Definitive Home Learning Manual to Build Skills for the AI Era!

In recent years, learning deficiencies among lower-grade students have become prominent. Author Hideo Kageyama warns that inadequate foundation building will impact future academic growth.

Three years after the 2023 publication of 'New Home Learning Strategy,' which focused on developing academic skills at home without reliance on schools or cram schools, this new edition targets preschool (mid-age) to lower primary students. It explains the practical application of the Kageyama Method and the effective use of commercially available materials.

Focusing on reading aloud, kanji, calculation, and penmanship, the book introduces age-appropriate learning plans and recommends drills and reference books. It also features interviews with working parents to show how home learning can be adapted to various lifestyles.
