Spaced Repetition: The Forgetting Curve, Tamed
Day 1 → 2 → 4 → 7 → 14. Review just before forgetting.
🧭 What parents can do
Do not re-drill everything daily. Let the platform schedule reviews, and when a review is due, do it as a two-minute game, not a chore.
🪜 Step-by-step
- Learn something new (day 1)
- Quick review the next day
- Review again after 2 more days
- Then after 4, 7 and 14 days
- Let EduManual track the schedule

⚠️ Common mistakes
Turning reviews into long drilling sessions. Two minutes, warm and quick.
