Cultivating a Love of Reading with Classics and Trusted Authors with Jan Bloom | Episode 264
In this second episode with Jan Bloom, Carole Joy Seid and Jan Bloom remind us that true classics—books that have stood the test of time—are far more than relics of the past. These are the stories filled with innocence, joy, and the richness of family life, the very things our modern world sometimes seems to have lost. Whether it’s Wind in the Willows, Winnie the Pooh, or the hilarious works of P.G. Wodehouse, these books are worthy of our time! This episode is chock full of authors to read.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- How Carole’s grandsons fell in love with Jeeves and why shared family humor from books is so meaningful.
- Why P.G. Wodehouse’s writing reflects the cadence of the King James Bible—even though he wasn’t a believer.
- The three books Jan Bloom says every homeschooling parent should read to understand what makes a book “good”
- How to build a child’s library wishlist using a highlighter, a basket, and a quiet time activity.
- Why homeschoolers should seek out circulating libraries—and how they’re preserving true classics.
