Here's my take on Shakespeare...

Hi Reader, It’s a goooood time of year here at Read-Aloud Revival. The Summer Adventure (yes! Shakespeare Summer!) has landed, and we’re about to have a simple and utterly delightful summer. Here's my take on Shakespeare: It's not something you do for school. Shakespeare himself wrote plays to be performed on stages—for audiences and performers alike to experience the breadth of the human experience in all of its comedic and tragic glory. “Study” Shakespeare for school? No thanks. I’d rather my kids fall head-over-heels—to want to read and watch and experience MORE of Shakespeare’s plays. The good news is that when you do Shakespeare well, your kids will:
And it won’t feel anything like school. Guaranteed. The good news: We’ve made this easier than ever.

Hey Reader, Here at the Read-Aloud Revival, we’ve been asked more times than I can count to create virtue-based book lists. And I always say no. But it's not because I don't believe books can build virtue in our kids. So today on the show, I invited Audrey, our Creative Director, back with me to talk about why we don’t make lists of books that specifically set out to teach kids about kindness, honesty, or other virtues. The reality is, all good books have a powerful capacity to inspire us...
Hi Reader, When you think about the various work that goes into making a children’s book, research probably isn’t at the top of your list. It might not make it on your list at all! But research is often an essential part of the process. And I can tell you from personal experience that research can be a time-intensive, sometimes overwhelming, but often the most delightful task. Today on the show, we’re hearing from some incredible authors and illustrators about the research that goes into...
