What a blessing my Instructor's Guide is. I have complete confidence that I'm teaching what needs to be taught throughout the year. When people have asked me about homeschooling and how I know my children are learning what they need to, I've whipped out my IG and they've been blown away. Most comment that with a tool like that, they'd be able to homeschool too! Thanks to the confidence I get using an established program like Sonlight, my boys are thriving and my husband and I couldn't be happier! In their first year of homeschooling using the 4th Grade Full-Grade program, Brooks (2), Jase (7), and Carter (9) climb a tree with Dad to read a short story.

It truly was a miracle when I took my son with Asperger syndrome out of public school and began homeschooling [with Sonlight. The books are captivating. The Instructors Guides are so easy to use and helpful. Everything you need is right there, ready to go. The Sonlight experience is a warm bonding time with parents and siblings. I still remember the feeling of being rescued and being placed in a wonderland.

I love the simply laid out lesson plans, the excellent and diverse choices of literature, and the flexibility Sonlight offers our family. Our oldest thoroughly enjoyed the P4/5 Core last year. This year it couldn't have worked out more perfectly that we were learning about ancient Greece and how the Olympics started, just as the 2012 games were beginning. I look forward to re-reading the wonderful stories with our other children when it's time to begin their schooling. We anticipate a rich home education with Sonlight for years to come! Now in their second Sonlight year, Mark and Beth share a lighthearted llama read with Reese (5), who is studying Core A, Lincoln (3) and Maddox (11 months).
