"Sonlight has been an amazing blessing for our family," writes Melissa H of Lithia, FL. "We love getting to learn together! Mid-way through the year we decided to break our routine with the Global Puzzle elective. It was so much fun for the girls, and quickly became a family activity full of conversations about where we've been and where we'd like to go!" Pictured, Rebekah (13, HBL 120 & 130) and Abigail (10, HBL D+E) finish up the Global Puzzle.
My daughter has an understanding of history and geography that goes beyond that of most adults. She loves to read and has a vocabulary much larger than one would expect for her age. A large part of this is because of the great Sonlight books. We love using Sonlight because I am confident that all the planning is done for me. I don't have to scramble to make sure I am covering each time period adequately. Krystal (12) has used Sonlight since first grade. Here, she enjoys a Science G experiment where she identifies powders by testing their reaction to different substances.
"We discovered Sonlight this year, after a friend recommended it to us, and can't believe the difference it has made. We particularly appreciate how Sonlight makes it possible for various ages to learn together. We have watched our children's relationships blossom and grow as we concentrate less on finding resources and more on enjoying quality time together as a family. This is what homeschooling is supposed to be! Here, Alexander (9) beats the heat and enjoys a good book from Core G." – Denise A, Cambodia

This work from our 8th grade literature book selection is a delightful true story of an American woman journalist who moves south of the border and marries a Mexican man in the 1930s. As the new Señora comes to love her new family and life, she must learn to navigate a new language, customs, (seemingly) dramatic Latin emotions, and a culture that feels stuck in time one hundred years earlier.

Ohkwa'ri overhears some older boys as they plan to raid a neighboring village. He tells his Mohawk elders and makes some enemies. The older boys will do anything they can to hurt Ohkwa'ri, especially during the village-wide game of Tekwaarathon (what we call lacrosse).

This educational reading book tells a great tale about doing the right thing, even in the face of opposition.
