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.
 

Sonlight's Language Arts programs are so versatile. This year is the third time through Language Arts 1 for our family, and I have been able to tailor the program to meet the needs of each individual child. If one child needs more work with a certain concept, there are plenty of extra activities in the Instructor's Guide that I can choose from to reinforce that concept. But if they catch on quickly, I have the option of leaving out the extra activities. We also love Sonlight's choices for Readers. The books in Language Arts 1 are familiar favorites that the little ones often pull off the shelf for Mommy to read. Here, Katie (7) reads to Mom as Meghan (3) and Karson (2) eagerly join in for the story. 

My daughters are adopted. Reading our Sonlight books has created not only opportunities to learn about different cultures and people, but also a special time of bonding. I've always heard Sonlight has great literature. Now we're enjoying many different adventures – from missionary stories, to stories about dogs and dolphins, with interesting characters who captivate the minds of my children. These make a lasting impression and we continue to talk about them, even when the books are finished. With all the different ways we learn, it makes for a deeper level of understanding, as all senses are involved in the process. Bookworms Tiffany (7) and Abigal (6) are reading their way through Core A.
