Give the gift of

RAR Premium.

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

RAR Premium is a gift for Mama, and a gift for the whole family.

MENTORING FOR MAMAS:

The key to a successful homeschool is a peaceful, joyful homeschooling mama. Sarah Mackenzie helps get mamas 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?

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 for you.

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 homeschools. We’re here to help them fall more in love with their day-to-day life.

Access our lively private forum (no social media required) to get book recommendations and support.

 

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.

Instant Access

Giving Premium means the recipient gets instant access to the dozens of on-demand classes, workshops, Family Book Club Guides, and videos in our library

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.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I PURCHASE A GIFT?

At checkout, you choose where to send the gift (to your own email address so you can give the gift yourself, or to the gift recipient’s email—we can deliver it for you). You also choose when that gift should deliver.

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 gifted subscription.

WILL THE GIFT SUBSCRIPTION RENEW?

Nope, gift subscriptions don’t renew automatically. You’ll only be charged once. Once the gift subscription has expired, the recipient will have the option to purchase more time in RAR Premium themselves.

CAN I GIFT MORE TIME TO SOMEONE WHO IS ALREADY A PREMIUM MEMBER?

Yes, you can (and won’t they love you for it!). When a current Premium member receives their gift certificate code, they will be instructed to contact our support team, so we can add the gifted 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 at a time that works for their schedule.

WILL THEY GET ACCESS TO PREVIOUS EVENTS AND CLASSES?

When they redeem their gift, the recipient will get immediate access to dozens of workshops, classes, Family Book Club Guides, and videos in our on-demand library. All content created within the previous 3 years is in there! 

WHAT AGE IS RAR PREMIUM BEST FOR?

Members have kids of all ages. The program is set up like a feast, so families take whatever parts are best for their kids’ ages. Our resources provide guidance for scaling content up or down depending on kids’ ages or skill levels.

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.

Mamas, of course, are a very important part of the equation, so we’ve got a few things for her, too. Our life-giving coaching program and Mama Book Clubs are created with the busy homeschooling mom in mind. 

DO YOU OFFER CLOSED CAPTIONS FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED?

Indeed, we do! Every member video replay is available to view with closed captions.

I'M READY TO BUY A GIFT! HOW DO I DO THAT?

Choose whether you want to purchase a 3- or 12-month subscription, and start the checkout process. We’ll ask you who to send the gift to and when to deliver it as you’re checking out!
