Summary

Get RAR Premium before January 5th to lock in our current low rates!

Today, I’ve got another Best Of RAR episode for you.

I wanted to revisit this episode because it feels extra relevant this time of year as we’re thinking about setting goals and resolutions for the year ahead.

Personally, I tend to feel a little overwhelmed by it and I bet some of you can relate.

And when it comes to books and goals for our reading lives, one of the things we hear at Read Aloud Revival all the time is, “There are so many books and so little time!”

There are SO MANY good books we want to read aloud with our families and we’re always trying to figure out how to fit more in. But we don’t want our read-alouds to become merely another item on our lengthy to-do lists. So how do we quell the bookish overwhelm?

That’s what I’m breaking down in this replay of an Ask Sarah episode with that exact question.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

What it really means to read aloud “every day”
Why it’s okay if you don’t get to all of the books (promise!)
Simple ways to expand the genres you and your kids read

0:00.0	Hey, Sarah here. I wanted to give you a heads up that the price for R. A.
0:05.5	premium is going up on January 5th, 2024. So if you've been thinking of joining us,
0:11.6	now is the time.
0:13.0	R-A-R premium is the online community for mamas who want to teach from rest and raise kids who love to read.
0:21.0	You'll find Circle with Sarah, my premium weekly coaching
0:24.8	podcast for homeschooling moms that our members tell us is worth the price of
0:29.1	membership all by itself. You'll also find our family book Club, including a monthly Family Book Club
0:35.1	guide and Family Book Club Live. This is open and go literature curriculum for
0:40.5	ages 5-18 that does not feel like curriculum and does not feel like school
0:45.4	and it turns kids of all ages into voracious readers.
0:50.0	If you've been on the fence about joining R-A-R premium, this is the absolute best time to do it.
0:55.3	Because if you join before January 5th, you lock in the current lower price for as long as you remember.
1:01.9	Right now, it's only $19 a month, $49 a quarter or $189 a year.
1:08.4	And if you join by January 5th, before January 5th, then that's the price you'll pay for the life of your membership
1:15.4	because we never increase the price for existing members. From January 5th
1:20.3	onward it'll be $25 a month, $67 a quarter or $240 a year.
1:26.8	Still a fabulous value but it's a no-brainer to join before prices go up so you can lock in
1:32.0	or lower rates.
1:33.6	Just text my name, Sarah, S-A-R-A-H,
1:37.6	to the number 3-3-7-7,
1:40.6	and I'll send you a direct link, or you can go to R-A-R- Premium.com.
1:47.0	See you there.
