"Sonlight has been a blessing to our family," says Carla P of Upper Marlboro, MD. "The living books bring so much joy and depth to our homeschool days. The best part of Sonlight is that it fosters deep and meaningful interaction and bonds, along with a great education. Being a military family, we move a lot, and it helps our kids adjust to bring their old 'friends' (books) with them!" Pictured, Ava (9) celebrates Box Day. The P family has been homeschooling for five years, Sonighting for two.

I discovered Sonlight 16 years ago and boy, am I glad I did! The high interest level of Sonlight books have given my active boys (and my more tranquil daughter) the opportunity to hear and learn from great books even if they couldn't sit still very long. Even in high school, we choose some books to read aloud because we enjoy books together and it has become part of our DNA. Although this photo is staged, 17-year-old Nathaniel really can maneuver a soccer ball while he reads or listens to Christie read. He is studying Core 300 and British Literature in his twelfth and final year of Sonlight. His three older siblings all used Sonlight from 6th grade through high school, graduated college, and are now working.
