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 7 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.

Last time on the podcast, we invited you to take a challenge.

Your own kind of choose your own challenge.

Seven days or 30 days or whatever works for you, and read a picture book a day to your

kids during that time.

If you missed it, you can go back and listen.

It's episode 178.

In it, we talk about the benefits of reading a whole story a day with our kids of any age.

We're talking about picture books.

Yes, but we're not just talking about younger kids.

We talk a little bit more in that episode about why picture books work so well with older

kids as well.
