    RAR #138: How to Choose Books for Your Kids Oct 01, 2019
    Show notes

    Your local library or bookshop (if you’re lucky, both!) is likely filled with children’s books. Many are simply marvelous—the kind of books you don’t mind reading aloud over and over, and that you’re delighted to hand to your kids.

    Others? Not so much.

    So how do we decide which books to read with our kids?

    How do we connect our kids with books they’ll love… especially when we haven’t read most of them?

    That’s what today’s episode is all about.

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • What is a good book, anyway?
    • How to choose books without a booklist using the 3-Question Test
    • How to know when to ditch a book

    RAR #137: Why Your Kids Love Graphic Novels (and which we like best!) Sep 16, 2019
    Show notes

    Graphic novels … they sometimes make us a little nervous, right? As parents, we worry if they have any value.

    In this episode of the Read-Aloud Revival podcast, I’m joined by the RAR Team, and we’re talking all things graphic novels.

    Do they count as real reading? Will they make our kids lazy readers? And what about questionable content?

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • what’s happening in your child’s brain when they read a graphic novel (aka what on earth is “multi-modal” reading?)
    • why some kids can’t get enough of them
    • our favorite graphic novels to read in our own homes

    RAR #136: If You Want Your Kids to Love Reading, Try This Sep 02, 2019
    Show notes

    I would be willing to bet that if you’re reading this, you’re hoping to raise kids who love reading. Think back for a second. Were the books you were assigned in school the same books you stayed up reading under the covers, late at night with a flashlight?

    When you were done writing the book report or the essay, did you eagerly start the book over, only to dive back into the utter delight of losing yourself in the story?

    Would you say those books became one of your childhood’s sweetest delights? Or were you just relieved to have “done” the book?

    See, all kids love stories when they are younger. Loving stories isn’t the problem.

    The problem arises when reading becomes something we do for school—for a grade or an assignment.

    The problem arises when our kids start to see reading as something on their list of to-do’s, rather than as one of life’s sweetest delights.

    Today, we’re turning that on its head.

    See, we have the opportunity to engage our kids with books differently– in a way that helps them love a book more after they’ve read it (rather than relieved that they’re done with the book).

    It’s simple and doable, and on this episode of the Read-Aloud Revival, I’m breaking it down. Want to help your kids love reading? Don’t miss this one.

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • 4 simple steps you can take to change the way your kids interact with books… for the better
    • why this will be a game-changer for your child’s reading life

    RAR #134: Author Access with Sally Lloyd-Jones (author of The Jesus Storybook Bible) Aug 05, 2019
    Show notes

    In this very special episode of the Read-Aloud Revival, we’re sharing an Author Access with the wonderful Sally Lloyd Jones.

    This was an event celebrating her book Goldfish on Vacation, which we read together as a community in RAR Premium.

    Sally even reads aloud to us in this one (twice!)

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • beautiful tips for young writers
    • which was the most challenging Bible story for her to write
    • something that means even more to her as a writer than medals and awards

    RAR #133: Books Take You Places (and some favorite seaside titles) Jul 22, 2019
    Show notes

    Today we’re heading to the coast of Maine… at least in our imagination.

    I’m chatting with Amanda Dykes, author of the adult fiction novel, Whose Waves These Are, in a summer episode that celebrates seaside tales.


    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • how the books we read as children can impact us for life
    • the unique way that books transport us
    • how books can serve as “functional souvenirs” (the best kind!)

    Ialso answer a listener question about organizing personal vs family books, and how I decide if a book should become part of our permanent collection. (The book I mention in this part is Outside Your Window by Nicola Davies and Mark Hearld.)

    RAR #132: Books for Teens, and Why YA is a Genre (not a reading level) Jul 08, 2019
    Show notes

    If you’ve got teens (or kids who will be teens before you know it), this episode is for you.

    We’re talking about books for teens, and why the YA/teen section of your library or bookstore is not a reading level.


    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • what YA is and what it isn’t
    • a few issues with YA/teen books
    • whether it’s essential for teens to read YA on the way to adulthood

    Of course, I’m also going to recommend some books… because that’s what we do best around here!

    RAR #130: Reading Aloud as an Obstinate Act of Love, with Meghan Cox Gurdon Jun 10, 2019
    Show notes

    In our culture today, is reading aloud an ‘obstinate act of love?’

    Meghan Cox Gurdon, this week’s guest and author of The Enchanted Hour, believes so.

    Meghan is the Wall Street Journal’s children’s book reviewer and says her five kids were a built-in focus group.


    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • the power of reading books again and again
    • the value of conversations around books
    • is reading aloud real reading?

    Ialso answer a listener question about how to continue reading aloud throughout the summer when schedules are wonky, and share some of my favorite audio books for preschool-age children.

    RAR #129: Jim Weiss: Storytime with Jim Weiss (and how to read aloud better!) May 27, 2019
    Show notes

    In this episode we welcome back Jim Weiss, master storyteller and a voice so many of us recognize.

    This is a fantastic episode to enjoy with your kids, because Jim tells us two stories during the show: Stone Soup and a tale of Sherlock Holmes, The Mazarin Stone.

    Gather everyone ’round and enjoy!

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • Jim’s two rules for telling our children stories (you’ll love them)
    • How to handle interruptions… and how to clarify what’s happening in a story without “breaking character”
    • Why you’re probably better at reading aloud than you realize…

    RAR #127: More Calm, Less Guilt, and Quiet Joy: Introverting (and Extroverting) as a Mom Apr 23, 2019
    Show notes

    Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

    On this episode of the Read-Aloud Revival podcast, Jamie Martin from Simple Homeschool is here to chat about being an introverted mom.


    Sarah is an extrovert, so we’re comparing what fills us up, what depletes us, and how we can find more calm, less guilt, and quiet joy in mothering– which I think is what we all long for, no matter our personality type.


    Of course, we also talk books! Some of our favorite authors were introverts (Lucy Maud Montgomery, anyone?), and Jamie and I can’t help but talk about our favorite books whenever we get together.


    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • How to find more calm and less guilt as a mama (yes please, right?)
    • The unique challenges that introvert and extrovert moms both face
    • Wisdom from some of your favorite authors (if your favorite authors happened to write books like Anne of Green Gables and Little Women, that is)

    I also answer a listener question about choosing books for very sensitive kids.
