Students forget 80% of What They Learn Within Just 30 Days
Create Brilliant HomeSchool Students
Who Retain and Recall it All.
Howdy Friend!
My name is Tom Meloche, and I'm a homeschool parent too.

Even I was surprised when BusinessWeek, a national news organization, called us one of America's Most Promising Startups. You see, our business wasn't created by a bunch of corporate types in suits who know nothing about homeschooling. It was created by me, a homeschool dad, and some friends. Bill, our lead programmer, is a father of seven! |
The Challenge Every Homeschool Faces
 |
My daughter Bethany is bright. However, while homeschooling I noticed that she would very quickly forget the basic facts she learned. Bethany would use flash cards to learn the names of all the countries of the world, and within a week or two she could get close to 100% of them right.
Of course, I thought she had learned them. We were done, right?
|
If you homeschool, you already know the answer.
As soon as we stopped reviewing the material, it was quickly forgotten. In fact, within a few months of having gotten 100%, Bethany had forgotten almost all of the countries.
Every homeschool parent has experienced this.
To make it even worse, the same thing happened to everything Bethany was learning.
I needed to learn how to help Bethany better retain and recall her studies. So I began an on-going research project that has now lasted over seven years. I researched human memory and cognition. And I learned that a few simple changes in how we approached our studies could provide dramatically better results.
What I've Learned
Most students forget 80% of what they learn within just 30 days.
Of course, every homeschool teacher already knows this. One homeschool mom told me that 30 days was way too long - her children forget most of what they learn within 5 minutes!
It turns out, her observation is also supported by research. We retain only a few facts in short-term memory at a time. It takes about six minutes to move these into long-term memory. If the facts don't move to long-term memory then they are gone - forgotten.
Have you ever been introduced to somebody and immediately forgotten their name? Clearly, we can forget within seconds.
Bethany, however, was getting facts into her long-term memory. The problem was, even long-term memories fade. To make her long-term memories last longer she needed to actively recall those memories over extended periods of time, months to years.
To really retain knowledge requires long-term review and follow-up.
We started to do regular follow-up.
If Bethany kept getting a question right, I moved its review further and further into the future. If she got a question wrong, we reviewed it again the next day.
This is the type of review the researchers recommended. They call it active recall and spaced repetition.
I immediately noticed a major improvement. Bethany not only remembered things longer, but it also took a lot less energy to refresh a memory than to learn it in the first place. Refreshing and review could even be fun and efficient!
I also noticed something else very special. The facts she learned gave her the ability to learn even more facts faster. I call this creating "knowledge nets" - nets that help your brain catch more knowledge. For instance, once she really knew that Abraham Lincoln was president from 1861 to 1865, she also knew the time frame of the Civil War. Instantly. Without Studying.
I have to admit that keeping track of what she got right and wrong, and manually adjusting the review cycle, was really time-consuming. But I also knew if I created a system to automatically do the things that I was doing by hand, then every homeschool parent could get the same exceptional results.
So, for the last year, my friends and I have been creating HomeSchool Advantage. It does automatically what I did manually for years.
HomeSchool Advantage comes with facts that every child should know by the time they graduate from homeschool. The parent assigns facts to supplement the established curriculum, and HomeSchool Advantage does the rest.
Each day, your child is presented with facts to learn and review. These customized reviews are tailored to each individual child. We review all of the thousands of facts a child knows and select the ones that are best for that child to review on that specific day.
If your students use our system, they will actually retain and recall what they learn.
Watch our demo, request our papers, and sign-up for a Free Trial of HomeSchool Advantage. I think you will be just as pleased with the results as I was.

Your Own Private Tutor
Imagine what it would be like to assign your children the task of learning the countries and capitals of the world and to have a system automatically make sure that it happened.
Imagine if your children could learn all of the countries and capitals of the world, studying just a few minutes a day with a dedicated private tutor.
Imagine the private tutor remembering perfectly your children's answers to prior questions, and using those answers to create customized daily worksheets for each child.
Imagine your graduates remembering as many as 30,000 key facts that define the boundaries of human knowledge. By knowing these 30,000 facts, they are absolutely brilliant compared to their peers.

Whatever Happened to Bethany?
 |
Bethany is now seventeen, and like many homeschool students is way ahead of the pack. She is finishing her Sophomore year of college. Recently she said to me "I finally understand what you were saying about learning, I only wish my professors taught their courses the way you do. They don't expect you to remember anything for long."
|
Bethany was our first student.
And she now understands personally how the typical approach learning is in direct opposition to how we actually learn. Perhaps I'll build CollegeAdvantage next!
Here is my promise to you. Give your children the right cognitive framework and you will see remarkable changes. They will become dramatically more interested, aware, and engaged students. Eventually, you will have to use HomeSchool Advantage just to keep up.
