Our son has special needs – this was our determining factor in starting the Sonlight program. At the begining, I wasn't confident enough to stray from your program, so I stuck to it, frame by frame. As the year progressed, I began to feel more confident, understanding my boys' learning strengths and weaknesses. Your program gave me that! Last summer, as I began to order our curriculum, your web site made it so easy for me. I'm going to add more subjects. I wish I could convey how much Sonlight has blessed our family. Josiah (9) and Eli (8) are studying Core B+C.

Each year I am proud to adventure through the most incredible literary selections with our children. Using Sonlight is truly an experience I wish I had had, but am so blessed to give our children! I have read some titles that were hard to swallow – deep content, thoughtful multicultural exposure – and have tasted and seen the presence of the Lord in all areas of our education at home. Here, 5-year-old Joseph shows off a real letter he wrote thanks to his Handwriting Without Tears program and a writing prompt from Core A. Carron says Joseph felt very grown up when he mailed his letter; he was so pleased with his ability to communicate.

"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.
