This is the first time I have heard of any of this encyclopedic knowledge stuff  .... I am very curious and interested. 

I am a little overwhelmed though.  Do you start with just learning the names of the objects?  Similar to what is done in LR, in the flashcard picture section?  And then you go on to facts after they are older?  What ages do you do this with?  I have a 4 yr old and a 5 yr old - can they start doing this, or are they too old?  (We homeschool them in 1st grade and kindergarten.) 

And, the big question- do they remember any of it?  I mean, if they grow up and it is forgotten by age 10 or so, what is the point?  I love the idea of it, I just want to make sure that it would be worth all of the time and expense.    Thanks so much for your help!

Hi Tristan!  I hope you get it all straightened out soon!

Hello, I am new here... Just got my little reader downloaded and installed.  I tried the slideshows last week and my 2 year old LOVED them.  (Actually, they all did!  )  Today we did the first lesson and she got mad when it was over and I told her we were done.  So we did it again.... and again..... she was STILL mad when I told her we were done, but I think enough is enough!   

We are from Colorado, but not the mountains.  We have three kids, and we homeschool the older two in first grade and kindergarten.   We live in the country and we have cows, chickens and ducks, and one cat.   I have been looking around BrillKids  and I think this all looks very neat... I can't wait to try it all out!
