Planting Prior Knowledge: The Secret to Real, Lasting Learning in Homeschool

Let’s talk about the kind of learning that actually sticks. In today’s episode, I’m diving into why planting prior knowledge—exposing our kids to big ideas early and often—matters way more than cramming facts or teaching to the test.

This one’s for all my fellow homeschoolers playing the long game. We’re building a foundation of understanding, not just a checklist of facts. When we let go of the "test everything" mindset and focus on meaningful exposure, we’re setting our kids up for those “ah-ha” moments later on. It’s not about what they can recite today—it’s about what clicks when they’re ready.

💡 In this episode:

• Why memorization isn’t the goal—and never was

• How to plant learning seeds that bloom later

• The mindset shift that will change how you homeschool forever

This is how we make learning last. Let’s plant those seeds together. 🌱
