RAR #270: The Whys and Hows of Quiet Reading Time


Listen Later

One of the all-time most useful things I’ve implemented in my homeschool is Quiet Reading Time.


I did Quiet Reading Time with my three eldest kids, who are now in college and beyond, during the most hectic years when I had all six at home (three of whom were babies at the time!), and I still do it with those younger three today. It has made a bigger difference in our homeschool than almost anything else.


It isn’t always quiet. And it isn’t always reading, in the most traditional sense. But it is incredibly effective, and it’s still my kids’ favorite part of the day.


In this episode, I’m going to talk all about how to bring Quiet Reading Time into your homeschool.


In this episode, you’ll hear: 

  • Why and how Quiet Reading Time can simplify your curriculum 
  • What Quiet Reading Time does for your kids (and for you!) 
  • How to manage reading time with littles underfoot
