"Sonlight's rich historical novels birthed a desire in Rebecca to one day write a book of her own," writes Beth W of Flowery Branch, GA. "At age 15, she wrote White Star, an historical fiction fantasy based on true events surrounding the Titanic. When she was 18, the book was published. 'I owe my passion for history and writing to Sonlight,' says Rebecca. 'During my impressionable middle school years, Sonlight exposed me to rich classics and thrilling novels that made history come alive. Thank you for inspiring me to create and write.'" Here, the young author, who studied with Sonlight from 5th through 10th grade,  proudly displays her work. Today, she promotes her book at signings and speaks to children about creative writing, the editing process and how she became published.

I'm so thankful for Sonlight's Language Arts guidance. We kept plugging away and I took faith in the tips and pointers (and Ruth Beechick's book). I won't forget the week everything seemed to brighten and I wasn't 'making' Zeke read anymore. He now says reading is his favorite! Here, Zeke (7, Core C) and Amelia (4, Pre-Kindergarten Multi-Subject) think little sister Isabella's hair looks like Ping from Little Pear [Core B].

"I stumbled upon Sonlight and fell IN LOVE with the world experiences I could offer my 6-year-old kindergartener," writes Teneal K of Tylertown, MS. "The Read-Alouds paired with Living Long Ago and the Timeline really bring the entire world to life. I love sharing real life scenarios from around the world, giving my daughter a much deeper scope than just our small corner of the map. We love Sonlight!"
