5 out of 5 stars by JANET V on 2008-05-23
This was our first year homeschooling, and we are so glad we did it with Sonlight. It was wonderful to already have my lessons mapped out for me, and I was pleasantly surprised to find some books I probably would not have chosen to be highlights, such as Roll of Thunder and In Search of the Source. My two oldest (12y and 9y) had a great time learning, and my 4y is very excited to do K soon!
