Spacing out the acquisition of knowledge is important and effective compared to massed learning. This concept is different than the spacing of retrieval practice (spaced-repetition) and simply means consuming the learning in bite-sized portions spread over time.
Progressive reading is a classic example of spacing out knowledge acquisition.

There is a lot of research to support the strategy of acquiring learning of a subject, spaced over time, rather than trying to accumulate it in a massed fashion. Here are just a few papers:
Spaced Learning Enhances Episodic Memory by Increasing Neural Pattern Similarity Across Repetitions - PubMed
The Right Time to Learn: Mechanisms and Optimization of Spaced Learning - PubMed
Dental education: Lecture versus flipped and spaced learning
Making Long-Term Memories in Minutes: A Spaced Learning Pattern From Memory Research in Education - PubMed
