"Caleb (7) is Autistic and gifted, or as we call it, differently wired," says Cynthia H of Champaign, IL. "Writing and fine motor skills are a huge challenge for him, but academically he is beyond average. Sonlight has been a great fit because it's based on Read-Alouds and discussion, so we can have rich, deep conversations as we read our way through history and around the world and he is not held back by his handwriting skills. I'm glad I found a program that can separate these two vital skills so he can excel at his own pace in each." Here, Caleb celebrates finishing his Readers for the year. The H's have been homeschooling for three years, two with Sonlight.

"We discovered Sonlight this year, after a friend recommended it to us, and can't believe the difference it has made. We particularly appreciate how Sonlight makes it possible for various ages to learn together. We have watched our children's relationships blossom and grow as we concentrate less on finding resources and more on enjoying quality time together as a family.  This is what homeschooling is supposed to be!  Here, Alexander (9) beats the heat and enjoys a good book from Core G." – Denise A, Cambodia

"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.
