"When I opened my first box of Sonlight, there was a slight moment of panic ... until I opened the Instructor's Guide," writes Lorelei K of The Woodlands, TX. "The IG laid out our first day of homeschool. Neatly outlined and with helpful suggestions along the way, the IG sat beside me like an old friend helping me on my journey. Two years and thousands of memories later, we love Sonlight!" Here, Christopher (9, Sonlight C) eagerly reads ahead in McBroom's Wonderful One-Acre Farm.

"The flexibility Sonlight offered was invaluable, in terms of being able to choose between the various Language Arts and Readers with the early grade packages. Because of dyslexia, Georgia learned to read late. She did so at a pace at which she was comfortable, and now that she's started, she's unstoppable! Everything gets read and everyone gets read to, as this photo shows!" Dad is a wildlife veterinarian and researcher. In the family's fifth Sonlight year, Georgia (10, Level C) reads an I Can Read It book to Auggie, a lion cub they hand-reared and fostered for several months. – Ashleigh T of South Africa

Edward P of Portland, OR writes: "Teaching with Sonlight has given us a chance as a family to spend so much quality time together. It allows us to snuggle with our children as they beg us to read the next chapter in the well-chosen books. And as a parent, I get to learn and grow along with my children as we study together." This year, Sebastian is using Sonlight B while Esther studies Sonlight A and little sister Mika listens in.
