This father has been using spaced repetition (Anki) to teach his children how to read several years earlier than average. Michael Nielsen and Gwern tweeted about the interesting case of a reddit user, u/caffeine314 (henceforth dubbed “CoffeePie”), who has been using spaced repetition with his daughter from a very young age.
Is the exact protocol published anywhere? After reading the Reddit posts, I'm still looking for these 3 things:
- how exactly does a single session work? Sit down, fire up Anki, and work through the Letters deck?
- how does progression work? When to incorporate numbers, words, capitals, etc?
- the example decks? Several times he mentions sharing his decks.
re "exact protocol" I think it would be good to have details about how he got started with them, not just how it's going some months/years in
