RAR #264: How to Read Classics (and Actually Enjoy Them)
us for Shakespeare Summer! Why should we read the classics" us for Shakespeare Summer! Why should we read the classics? So many of us want to read and enjoy them, but we don’t want to spend our precious free time feeling like we’re incompetent because we just don’t get it or that the internet has completely ruined our brains (is this just me?). This winter in RAR , we did a whole retreat about falling in love with your reading life again, and today I'm sharing one of those sessions, called How to Read Classics (and Actually Enjoy Them). RAR Community Manager Kelsey Murphy and I talk all about how to find your way into the classics and *really* begin to relish them. Most of this translates to reading classics with your kids, but this session really is for you. We want you to discover the fun and enjoyment in classic literature because it makes your life richer and better. It also makes you a more peaceful and joy-filled mama to those sweet kids of yours. In this episode, you’ll hear: Helpful entry points to reading the classics How to approach classics as an invitation to learning and enjoyment (not like homework) Why watching the movie first will not get your Homeschool Mama card revoked (we promise!)
