Let’s fall in love with our ordinary, bookish homeschool lives.

The online community for mamas who want to teach from rest and raise kids who love to read.

What is

RAR Premium?

MENTORING FOR YOU:

The key to a successful homeschool is a peaceful, joyful homeschooling mama. Sarah Mackenzie helps get you there with the life you already have.

OPEN-AND-GO BOOK CLUB:

Literature-based curriculum using Read-Aloud Revival’s relaxed book club model provides a rich and joyful education for kids ages 4-17.

I’m Sarah Mackenzie

As a busy homeschooling mama of 6 (3 young adults, 3 still at home), I know it can be hard to harness the joy in the midst of all the doing. I also know it can be really hard to trust your gut when you’re making decisions in your homeschool!

Homeschooling, after all, is all about relationships. Relationships with each other, and with the ideas we encounter.

I created RAR Premium because I wanted to fall in love with my homeschool, and I wanted my kids to love reading as much as I do.

What’s inside RAR Premium?

The best money we spend in our homeschool…

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Amy

When I joined, my kids were just 6 and 2…

But I wish we would have jumped in sooner! It’s the BEST thing I have done for my homeschool.

Sara

Not just for homeschoolers…

I’m a reading specialist and my kids attend public school. There is so much here for everyone!

Erin

I used to worry…

…about whether I was doing this parenting & homeschooling gig right. Truly, RAR Premium has made all the difference!

Michelle

There are endless options…

…but joining Premium has been the best homeschool decision I’ve made. I’ve gained an overwhelming wash of peace and self-confidence.

Jennifer

I’ve heard it said many times…

…that RAR Premium was the best thing someone did for their homeschool, and I could NOT agree more!

Amy

I wasn’t sure joining would be worth it…

but the deeper connections our family has made has definitely worth the investment!

Katie

I think the biggest difference is in my husband.

He’s connected to what we’re doing as a part of the Family Book Club, and he listens to so many more audiobooks now.

Amber

It’s worth every penny!

I used to worry about inappropriate content in new children’s books. Now my kids and I are discovering beautifully written current books that inspire us.

Our resources offer guidance for scaling up or down the content to meet the needs of your kids’ ages and skill levels.

YOU, of course, are a very important part of the equation, so we’ve got a few things for you, too. Our life-giving Circle with Sarah program and Mama Book Clubs are created with the busy homeschooling mom in mind. Be refreshed while you learn to teach from rest and lead with confidence.
