Who uses Kirin Drill

Parents of elementary school children, in Japan and in Japanese-speaking families around the world
Teachers at Japanese supplementary (weekend) schools, tutoring centres and cram schools
Families who study at home with printed worksheets and a pencil

Most visitors arrive already knowing the grade, subject and unit they need, and print the worksheet the same day. That makes it easy to show them products that fit what their child is studying right now.

About the site

Japanese and maths for every grade: more than 3,300 worksheets for grades 1–6, covering arithmetic, kanji, reading comprehension, hiragana and katakana.
Notes for parents on every worksheet: each page explains where children tend to get stuck and what to say to help, so parents read the pages closely.
Used worldwide: every worksheet comes in both A4 and US Letter, for families who cannot easily buy Japanese study materials where they live.
Run by a teacher: all worksheets are designed by a teacher with more than ten years of experience teaching Japanese children in Japan and overseas.

The site and its worksheets are written in Japanese. Our audience reads Japanese; many families living outside Japan are bilingual.

A good fit for

Home printers, ink and paper	Reach parents at the moment they print. Our worksheets are made to be printed, and many families print several pages a day. It is a natural place to introduce printers, ink plans and paper chosen for running cost and ease of use.
Note-taking and PDF annotation apps for tablets	Home study without the printer. More families now open the PDFs on a tablet and write on them with a stylus. We can show how your app works with our worksheets, on worksheet pages and in our how-to guides.
Stationery	Tools for learning by hand. Much of the site is handwriting practice: hiragana, kanji and pencil-control exercises. Pencils, erasers, notebooks and folders designed for young writers fit well.
Services for Japanese families overseas	For families keeping up Japanese outside Japan. International delivery of Japanese books and study materials, preparation for returning to school in Japan, Japanese-language learning services and similar.
Study and educational products	Setting up a place to study. Study timers, desks, laminators and other products that help parents build a daily study habit.
