You're listening to the Read-A-Loud Revival Podcast.

I'm your host Sarah McKenzie, homeschooling mama of six, and author of The Read-A-Loud

Family and Teaching from Rest.

As parents were overwhelmed with a lot to do, it feels like every child needs something

different.

The good news is you are the best person to help your kids learn and grow, and home is

the best place to fall in love with books.

This podcast has been downloaded seven million times in over 160 countries, so if you want

to nurture warm relationships while also raising kids who love to read your in-good company,

we'll help your kids fall in love with books, and we'll help you fall in love with homeschooling.

We know that reading is crucial to our children's future success academically and otherwise,

and so we want to know what we can do to make it more likely that our kids like and enjoy

reading, right?

The good news, I think, is that there are simple steps we can take as parents and educators

that will make it as likely as possible that our kids will become voracious readers, that

they don't just have the ability to read, but they also have the desire to do it for pleasure.
