Raise Lifelong Readers:
Get Started With a Family Book Club Today!

How do you raise a lifelong reader when so much is vying for our kids’ attention? How do you convince a kid that, no really, books have more to offer in the way of entertainment and discovery than app?

We believe the answer is simple: reading together.

Not begging kids to put down their screens and pick up a book, but engaging them in the simple delight of reading together as a family.

Enter the Family Book Club. In less than an hour per month, you can nurture a lifelong love of reading, strengthen your relationships, and create memorable experiences.

Sound like a plan? We’ve made getting started simple and easy! Enter your email address below, and we’ll send you two FREE Family Book Club Guides.

Included in each guide:

  • “Words to Watch For” glossary
  • Related reading to keep the stories coming
  • “Around the Table” activities to strengthen relationships
  • Conversation starters to spark meaningful conversations
  • And more!

“Book guides are such a lifesaver. I am so thankful for the work that goes into them so I can open and go!”

-Joyce S.

“My 9 and 7 year olds and I are about halfway through the book. I’m loving it, and so are they! Thanks RAR for always picking wonderful read-alouds.”

-Shelby H.

You’ve got this.

Every month, we host thousands of families for a Family Book Club—and we’re thrilled to finally share the experience with you. Maybe you still have some questions…

What ages are these guides for?

These guides are designed to engage people of all ages, from your youngsters to your teens to parents. Yes, even the picture book guide.

How much planning and prep does this require?

Close to zero! You’ll need to get a copy of the book if you don’t already have it (the library totally works). And if you want to do any of the extra activities, you might need to pick up an ingredient or two for the grocery store. Otherwise, we’ve done all the planning for you!
