"Sonlight has been a lifesaver for us, especially being fairly new to homeschooling," writes Lori P of Surprise, AZ. "The complete lesson plans made it  so easy to put together the year with Lily's History/Bible/Literature program, along with the ability to match her Language Arts to her level. We were able to build her entire curriculum by adding in Math and Science, which she loves to do outside with Finn by her side. Thank you Sonlight!" Here, Lily (9) works on her math as she enjoys the beautiful weather and the freedom to work in a relaxed environment, shoes off!

"I was so excited when I browsed my first Sonlight catalog and saw they included Handwriting Without Tears," writes Melissa N of Chittenango, NY. "I was already working with Handwriting Without Tears when our first Sonlight materials arrived and found integrating the Sonlight Language Arts for Grade K Readers program into what we were already doing an easy transition. Thank you Sonlight for recognizing that every child is different and for giving parents a variety of options to choose from!" Here, Sawyer (5) and Coen (3) work with the Handwriting Without Tears manipulatives in their second year of Sonlight.

"Sonlight offers many options for Math programs, so we can find what each child needs and set him or her up for success!" writes Jennifer W. "Before we used Teaching Textbooks, Math was a bore to Vashti as she labored through each lesson. She likes the friendly manner of the teacher, and how he makes her least favorite subject more interesting. Teaching Textbooks also helps Vashti retain more information because she can listen to parts of the lecture that she needs to hear again, as many times as she needs. Viewing the solution to missed problems is a great tool to find out where mistakes were made." In her seventh year of Sonlight, 13-year-old Vashti is using Core H and Teaching Textbooks Pre-Algebra.
