Yes. Most people don't have photographic memories. One doesn't read a recipe book and remember every recipe, one refers back to the book every time one wants to cook that dish until they have done so on multiple occasions.

So would you suggest spaced reading of the same book over a period of time before the forgetting curve takes its course? You’ve made a solid point.

Something along those lines. In school they don't expect you to read something once and remember all of it. You take notes, write essays or work through multiple equations.
