"Sonlight's teaching methods initially seemed too different from the way I had been taught," writes Renée L of Ontario, Canada. "Then I remembered that I learned best when my parents read great books to me and when I was allowed to explore the great outdoors and be creative. Sonlight encouraged this style of learning and provided all the resources, including a ready-to-go schedule AND Christ-centered learning with a global focus. So Sonlight received a second look and won us over." In this picture, Micah (10) and Maiah (6) enjoy one of their Readers with mom. The L family has been Sonlighting for six years.

Our son has made amazing strides in his reading! At the end of kindergarten, he was barely able to sound out three-letter words. Just four weeks later, he's able to easily read stories from the I Can Read book. The Sonlight curriculum is very easy to use, even for a novice homeschooler. It provides structure, while allowing flexibility to adapt to our son. I love that it has a Christian perspective, but also promotes discussion about topics such as the age of Earth, and what different cultures across the ages believed about gods.
