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.
 

I have structure and direction with Sonlight, so we capitalize on every learning moment. I often get pressured about my choice to homeschool. Thanks to Sonlight, I'm confident that I'm doing the right thing for my girls. I'm learning how to teach as well, which helps melt away the frustration and allows me to be a great teacher and mom. Through Sonlight, I've learned a better approach to phonics, and it has made a world of difference. What I love most is that I don't have to force my kids to learn. Hannah (5, Kindergarten Multi-Subject) and Gracie (2, Preschool Multi-Subject) love learning their letters and words outdoors.

"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
