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.
RAR Premium: Homeschool coaching and Family Book Club
MENTORING FOR MAMA:
The key to a successful homeschool is a peaceful, joyful homeschooling mama. Sarah Mackenzie helps Mamas get there with the life they 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?
CIRCLE WITH SARAH
Mamas are mentored by Sarah Mackenzie to become the peaceful, joyful homeschooling mama they’re called to be.
Members listen to each Monday’s 10-minute coaching podcast to start each week focusing on what matters most.
Family Book Club
Each month’s Family Book Club Guide offers meaningful learning experiences for the whole family, with help for scaling up or down depending on the kids’ ages.
Includes a study of:
- Literary devices and elements
- Grammar
- Writing
- Poetry
- Art
- History
- Geography
- Nature Study
- . . . and more
The best part? We do all the prep work.
Real life and real learning doesn’t need to be fractured into subjects and long lists of to-do’s. We simplify homeschooling and help mamas create warm memories with their kids.

COMMUNITY
Mamas are the experts of their own homeschool. We’re here to help them fall more in love with their day-to-day life.
They can join our lively private forum (no social media required) to get book recommendations and support to fuel their days.
MAMA BOOK CLUB
A mother’s reading life shouldn’t be another to-do on a never-ending list. Instead, it can be a source of constant joy and refreshment.
Our quarterly Mama Book Club helps Mamas determine how to read for what they need in their current season of life.

The best money we spend in our homeschool…
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
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.
Not just for homeschoolers…
I’m a reading specialist and my kids attend public school. There is so much here for everyone!
I used to worry…
…about whether I was doing this parenting & homeschooling gig right. Truly, RAR Premium has made all the difference!
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.
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!
I wasn’t sure joining would be worth it…
but the deeper connections our family has made has definitely worth the investment!
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.
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.

At checkout, you choose where to send the access code (please note: during the checkout process, it will called a “gift subscription” because it does not automatically renew).
The subscription does not start until the recipient activates it. Once activated, they will have instant access to everything RAR Premium right away and for the entire length of their subscription.
WILL THE SUBSCRIPTION RENEW?
No, subscriptions purchased through a charter school don’t renew automatically. You’ll only be charged once.
CAN I PURCHASE MORE TIME TO SOMEONE WHO IS ALREADY A PREMIUM MEMBER?
Yes, you can. When a current Premium member receives their access code (sent after you make the purchase), they will be instructed to contact our support team, so we can add the additional subscription months to their current subscription.
WHAT IF THEY CAN’T MAKE IT TO THE LIVE ONLINE EVENTS?
Every live online event in RAR Premium is recorded and made available on-demand within a few days. If they’re unable to join us, they’ll be able to watch it at a time that works for their schedule.
WILL THEY GET ACCESS TO PREVIOUS EVENTS AND CLASSES?
Yes, all RAR Premium members get immediate access to the whole library of resources. They’re all available on-demand right out of the gate. See a list of what’s currently available here.
WHAT AGE IS RAR PREMIUM BEST FOR?
Our members have kids of all ages. The program is set up like a feast, so members can use whatever parts are best for their kids’ ages. We choose books for our Family Book Club that appeal to a wide range of ages because we believe that families connect when whole families share the read-aloud experience.
DO YOU OFFER CLOSED CAPTIONS FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED?
Indeed, we do! Every member video replay is available to view with closed captions.
