Read-Aloud Revival ® - Best of RAR: Simple Habits for Nurturing Lifelong Readers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We all want our kids to be readers. Not just kids who can read, but kids who actually do read. Who then grow up and keep choosing to read because they want to, not because they have to. But there’s a curious thing that those of us who care deeply about raising lifelong readers tend to do, which is to treat our kids’ reading lives in exactly the opposite way that adult readers actually read. We choose all their books. We tell them how long to read for. We ask them questions to prove to us that th
RAR #287: Bringing the Outside Into Your School Year with Ginny Yurich (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The heart of homeschooling is relationships . Building meaningful, lasting connections is the real secret sauce of reading aloud with your kids. Those connections are also built when you spend time in nature together. Sounds simple, right? Read books. Go outside.

Read excerpt
Books are so much more than just a collection of words. They are lanterns that illuminate our lives in so many incredible ways.

So much so, that they were willing to endure quite a lot of hardship to get books into the hands of people who otherwise wouldn’t have had access to them during a difficult period of American history. In this episode, I’m talking with Caroline Starr
RAR #284: Finding Rest in the Mess (Circle With Sarah Sneak Peek) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How long is your to-do list? What if you added in all the extra shoulds and supposed-tos that you are in your head but you don’t even write down because that would be too overwhelming? How long is it then? It might feel a little cliché to talk about how busy we are. But I think it’s helpful to acknowledge that most of us are at least a little bit (or more) fried. So why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we keep piling things onto our to-do lists? If you take a closer look at your list, I think
