Hey, hey, heads up. We've got a brand new book coming from a waxing. While everyone is sleeping is a picture book for ages 2 to 102 written by me Sarah McKenzie and

Illustrated by Gabrielle Grimard. Just before first morning light, Little Shrew is awakened by the moon. A

Mysterious fragrance leads her to a garden of moon flowers where mods flutter,

crickets hum and frogs and peepers keep the beat. Join Little Shrew's Mary Rump in the Moonlit Garden in this bedtime story for adventurous souls.

The book releases October 3rd and when you pre-order you'll get a bundle of Happy bonuses. See for yourself and pre-order your copy today at waxwingbooks.com.

You're listening to the Read-A-Loud Revival Podcast. This is the podcast that helps you make meaningful and lasting connections with your kids through books.

Hello, hello Sarah McKenzie here and this is episode 126 of the Read-A-Loud Revival.

So last time on episode 125 I shared with you the first half of a masterclass from Read-A-Loud Revival Premium. The masterclass was

creating a book club culture in your home and I shared with you the first half of that class. The best way to help your kids fall in love with books or to protect and guard your child's love of books

so it doesn't ever get schooled out of them is to create a book club culture at home and you got to hear the first half of the masterclass. If you didn't get a chance to

listen to that you can listen to it at read-A-Loud Revival.com slash 1 2 5 or just look for the episode before this one in your podcast app.

You don't actually have to listen to that one to understand what we're doing today. Today we're diving into the how. How exactly do you build a family book club culture at home.

If we're not doing worksheets and we're not doing book reports and we're not doing assigned books in the way that we've always done them before

what are we replacing it with? Well we're replacing it with the principles of a book club culture. We also dive into a little bit about what we do with

literary analysis. Does it need to be done and what does that look like? And I answer a few questions. This was a live class recorded in read-A-Loud Revival Premium.

If you enjoyed last episode and if you enjoy this one you would love read-A-Loud Revival Premium. We do a new masterclass like this one every single season.

We have classes on how to talk with your kids about books, how to choose books for your teens, how to homeschool the early years with rest and intention.

We have a whole homeschooling series called Focus and Align 2.0 that is helps homeschooling moms teach from rest and lead with confidence

and a whole host of other classes that are helpful for moms who want to make meaningful and lasting connections with their kids through books.

So I would encourage you to check out our membership.com. That is where you can learn more about read-A-Loud Revival Premium.

We only open a few times a year but we're opening soon May 6th through 10th 2019. So for just five days you can register to join us for the summer.
