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.

I've got to tell you about this question I was just asked.

Andrew Pudwess said that to me over a table laden with chicken curry and vindaloo, and

then proceeded to tell me about a fascinating conversation he had at the great homeschool

convention.

So we end up eating our dinner and discussing, often agreeing, sometimes not, about the

best answer to such a question.

Andrew Pudwess and I have dinner together often after homeschool conferences.

We're always eager to catch up on one another's families.

His grandkids are adorable.

And also on one another's work, because what they're doing at an institute for excellence

in writing is good and important and I'm a fan.
