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!
