"We want children who are not jaded and bored already with the work that they've been doing." ~ Amy Sloan Watch this full interview on our YouTube Channel.

Actress CAROLE LANDIS was a rising star in the 1940s, but her bright light was short-lived. She came from a troubled background and learned early that her looks and sex appeal were valuable commodities that could help her dreams of fame come true. She scratched and clawed her way to Hollywood stardom only to find the dream was hollow. Her quest for love led her to all the wrong men. Her ill-fated love affair with the very-married star REX HARRISON drove her to her untimely death at age 29. Ruled a suicide at the time, years later, Landis' family thinks otherwise. Today, she serves as a cautionary tale about the dark side of the Hollywood dream. SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Carole Landis: A Tragic Life In Hollywood (2005), by E.J.

For some children, the road to reading can be a smooth fast track.  For many, it is a road with a few bumps here and there, and for some, it can be a slow meandering road trip that takes many, many detours along the way.  If you are new to homeschooling or your student struggles, teaching your child to read can feel like an overwhelming or daunting task, but it doesn't have to be.  In this week's episode, Carrie shares three simple components to helping your child get on this road to reading as well as time-tested (and research-based) lesson planning tips, resource recommendations, and engaging activities to use.  This episode is perfect for moms with younger students, late bloomers, and struggling readers.  If you already have a house full of independent readers, listen anyway and come back in a few weeks for how to plan and teach high school literature and composition.  Pour yourself a cup, put your feet up,  and join Carrie for this little coffee break!  Just breathe.....Your child will learn to read.  Resources mentioned in this episode:Better Late Than Early by Raymond Moore and Dorothy MooreThe Read-Aloud Family by Sarah MackenzieGive Your Child the World: Raising Globally Minded Kids One Book at a Time by Jamie C.

Join us for a book-centered conversation with guest Jan Bloom. You'll catch a glimpse of homeschool life in the early years, hear how BooksBloom, their traveling bookstore (a favorite stop at many of the Great Homeschool Conventions) came to be, and even hear a bit about what it's like to homeschool as a grandparent. You'll hear about several favorite books, and come away inspired, with a renewed sense of the joy of homeschooling and the fun of reading good books. Guest biography After hearing about homeschooling at a L'Abri seminar in 1982, Jan and Gary Bloom embarked on a new adventure with their three children. It evolved into a life inextricably intertwined with homeschooling, books, and travel.   Although they didn't necessarily plan for such a mobile lifestyle, Gary and Jan have been on the road for over 20 years with their traveling bookstore, BooksBloom. Though they've slowed down a bit in the last couple of years and are homeschooling their 8 year old grandson, they still travel thousands of miles a year to set up their cozy used bookstore at homeschool conferences and BooksBloom seminars. Families who come to their booth can find both good books and great recommendations for parents and kids who are looking for just the right book on whatever they are interested in, enjoy, or need to study.  Jan writes, “Our lives are full of adventure - traveling, talking, rescuing books, sending great books to new homes,  laughing, and experiencing God's kindness and mercies daily. We are grateful to the Lord that He allows us to live such a crazy life.” Host biography Janice Campbell, a lifelong reader and writer, loves to introduce students to great books and beautiful writing. She holds an English degree from Mary Baldwin College, and is the graduated homeschool mom of four sons. You'll find more about reading, writing, planning, and education from a Charlotte Mason/Classical perspective at her websites, EverydayEducation.com, Excellence-in-Literature.com, and DoingWhatMatters.com.

Meredith and Kaytee are joined by a special guest co-host this week, Mindy Brouse, a Currently Reading listener and super-fan of the show. This one was fun, you guys! You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each of us: a funny bookish conversation, a sweet picture book that made me feel ~seen~, and a spoiler-ific discussion of a previous book. Next, we discuss our current reads. Since there are three of us, we kept it to two titles each, but there’s no shortage of great stories and big opinions. For our deep dive, we’re talking to Mindy about reading aloud to kids of multiple ages, since she has been homeschooling for 20 years and has 7 kids with a large span. Our listeners asked for something exactly like this, and Mindy delivers! We also get to hear from her about something we’ve heard from a lot of you: how Currently Reading changed her reading life. It’s a sweet conversation. As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we’d like to press into every reader’s hands. This week’s picks include a favorite read-aloud title, a YA sci-fi (Y-fi?) series, and a fairy tale retelling that has been a favorite for DECADES. As per usual, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode.
