"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.

"Today was our last Fun Tale," writes Mandy Y of Spokane Valley, WA. "At the start of the year, I didn't think we would get here. Parker (5, Language Arts K) struggled to learn to read, and I struggled to teach him. However, I knew Sonlight was a great curriculum, so we persevered. One day, it just clicked! Now, Parker reading his Fun Tales to me is one of my favorite times during our school week. Thank you, Sonlight, for making reading fun for both of us!" Pictured, Parker and Mandy wrap up their reading for the year.

"The flexibility Sonlight offered was invaluable, in terms of being able to choose between the various Language Arts and Readers with the early grade packages. Because of dyslexia, Georgia learned to read late. She did so at a pace at which she was comfortable, and now that she's started, she's unstoppable! Everything gets read and everyone gets read to, as this photo shows!" Dad is a wildlife veterinarian and researcher.
