Kidibook+145 clever tips to remember Pythagoras, Thales, figures of speech… and ace the Brevet.
Sunday, 5 p.m. He has been studying his history test for two hours — you saw him do it, he wasn’t cheating, the phone was in the other room.
Tuesday, he comes home with an 8. “I had learned everything. In front of the paper, I forgot everything.”
And you don’t know what to say to him, because you know he’s telling the truth.
Between CM2 (10-11 years old) and 3e (14-15 years old), the amount to remember triples. The method, however, has stayed the same: reread, underline, reread again.
Rereading gives the feeling of knowing — you recognize the lesson, so you believe you know it. But recognizing is not remembering. On test day, there is no page in front of you.
What he lacks is not revision time. It’s a hook per concept — something that comes up on its own, even under pressure.
That’s what he was taught to do. Except rereading reinforces the impression of knowing, not memory.
Several tens of euros per hour. It saves the current chapter, not the way to learn the next fifty.
Hours of copying, and a sheet he will never reopen. The effort is real, the trace is not.
This book does not replace any of the three. It does what none of them do: give each concept in the program a grip to hold on to.
Dozens of concrete tips that stay in the mind forever, in all subjects:
He had confused Thales and Pythagoras since 4e (13-14 years old). You show him the trick that separates them — three seconds, a silly image, impossible to mix up afterwards.
The following month, right in the test, he no longer searches: the image comes back before the formula.
That’s all we aim for: that he stops revising more, and starts remembering better.
The 145 tricks are identical in both. The only question: is he revising this weekend, or do you want to give him a real book?
Better that he approaches it with hooks rather than two hours of rereading.
