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.

Let's get started.

Hello, hello, welcome back.

We have a little break here from the podcast, but I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.

I think just about everyone I know is happy to say goodbye to 2020, but I hope you're

feeling optimistic about 2021.

We are a people of hope, after all.

On today's show, I want to tell you about the best way I know to kick off a new year.

It's a way that gives your kids a great academic benefit, helps your kids grow closer to each

other, and doing acts of love every day, and also ramps up their love of books.

I'm talking, of course, about The Read-A-Loud Challenge.

We do this every January at Read-A-Loud Revival, and we are ready to launch into it again.

Do you know I have lost track?
