Lots of super helpful parenting advice and the Book of the Week and free booklists are the best! Reading with my kids is now my favorite thing to do because I have a new perspective from this podcast.

Whenever I listen to this podcast, inspired ideas for my family just flood into my mind. Sometimes they are related to the topic at hand, and sometimes they aren’t, but for whatever reason, heaven just opens its gates and pours ideas into my mind that draw my family together and set us up for...Read full review »

I have five kids 11 and under. We have homeschooled from the beginning, and I have always had a baby or toddler underfoot. I literally wept through episode 231 because I was so grateful and overwhelmed with relief to hear so many words of encouragement and validation. I LOVE THIS PODCAST. This is...Read full review »

I love RAR!! Been listening for about 6 months and love every episode! She’s so encouraging, gives simple and practical tips, and has so much fun in the middle of it all! She has given me much practical advice as I prepare to homeschool my two girls as a second-generation homeschooling mama💛

I’m a long time listener. Have also read Sarah’s books. Sarah is the real deal. She is the most inspirational, genuine, and relatable podcaster I’ve ever listened to. She puts words to what my heart longs for. I’m SO thankful I stumbled upon Read Aloud Revival when my kids were just babies. Her...Read full review »

Sarah is a ray of sunshine! I always leave her podcast feeling uplifted and inspired. This podcast has provided so many top-notch book recommendations for our homeschool AND introduced us to the amazing Barbara Cooney. We are now OBSESSED. We are cooky for Cooney over here. Thanks, Sarah!

I cannot say enough fantastic things about this podcast! I have been listening to Sarah inspire me and make me giggle since well before I was even a mama (but knew I wanted children, and knew I wanted to homeschool someday). Now, years later, I’m still a faithful listener and reading aloud to my...Read full review »

I absolutely love this podcast for the book recommendations but what has been an even bigger blessing is the encouragement Sarah gives out ‘from the trenches’. I love hearing about how to not only talk to my kids about books but encourage their love, and also mine, for words and stories. Hearing...Read full review »

Hands down, the Read Aloud Revival is my absolutely favorite podcast for homeschooling. If you’re looking for encouragement, inspiration, tried and true tips and “tricks,” and the very best book recommendations, this is it!
mdube724 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/01/24
I am unable to recall what/who led me to Sarah and RAR but I am SO grateful! I am not a reader. Reading has never been a priority. Reading was to learn. Not anymore! I foresee us joining the RAR premium family soon! Thank you for sharing your passion and creating a wonderful program for families...Read full review »

Such an encouraging podcasts for parents/homeschoolers who want to read a loud to their kids and also enjoy a reading life for themselves. I always finish the podcast with a smile and a desire to keep reading and homeschooling.

This podcast has completely changed the way I approach and conduct my homeschool. It was been an amazing place for support and encouragement. I highly recommend to anyone homeschooling or thinking of homeschooling. Especially if you have multiple children.
Mrsalexwillems via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/24
I first found Sarah Mackenzie through her Teaching From Rest book (which I think needs to be reread annually). I have been so moved by Read Aloud Revival and always love hearing the helpful tips/ideas for fresh inspiration!

Great podcast…! (In all honesty, this is my first episode… but so far, I’m loving it!). Now I have a ton of episodes to catch up on! Thanks!
BDHPAC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/24
This is one of the few podcasts I feel is actually worth my time to listen too. As a homeschool mom to four kids, she continues to inspire me to keep reading to my boys.

We just started homeschool this year and right before we did, I found RAR. Not only did it help me with overnight feeds with my at the time newborn, it helped me relax and focus on what’s important for my school-aged daughter. Especially for a momma who tends to go a little too hardcore. Oh, and...Read full review »

I always love a podcast that cuts to the chase. I’m a busy momma of 4. Homeschooling 3, it’s helpful to have a place to go for practical encouragement and support. Where I don’t feel like I have to completely change everything I’m doing to be successful. Seems to always be just what I need to hear!

I listen to every episode and I’m not even a homeschooler. In fact, I’m a grandma of twelve, a former teacher, and a children’s librarian.

I enjoy Sarah’s podcast so much because she is always encouraging to homeschool moms! I first was introduced to Sarah when I had 6 kids (the youngest two being 1 year old twins).

Sarah makes it easy and accessible to enjoy good literature and the presence of your children. We’ve had so many giggles, questions and great discussions from the recommendations she gives. The podcast has also been such an encouragement to help me navigate the challenges of my struggling reader.

When a momma asks me about homeschooling, the very first resource I point her toward is Sarah Mackenzie’s Read Aloud Revival podcast! Sarah has the best advice to keep life for busy mommas simple and totally doable!

I listened to RAR for years and enjoyed the discussion about reading and books, even when my kids were in school.
