My husband caught this moment unbeknownst to us. I'm so glad he did! Here we are camped out on the sofa reading from the Family-Time Bible in Pictures. Our girls have learned so many Bible stories from this book they have amazed their Sunday school teachers. We've had to teach them to listen respectfully in class instead of calling out, "I already know that story!" We have had a wonderful first year of homeschooling with Sonlight. Our daughters loved all the stories in the P3/4 program. We've read most of them multiple times. My husband and I have seen huge growth in their vocabulary and listening comprehension. My favorite thing has been watching my 3 year old daughter "read" her favorites on her own almost word for word. We are looking forward to P4/5 and repeating p3/4 with our two younger children in the future.

"Our 8-year-old son didn't like Language Arts, but since we discovered Sonlight we have seen a great change in his attitude toward reading and writing," writes Ana P of Naples, FL. "He loves reading the Sonlight books, especially The Beginner's Bible. He likes it so much that he reads it not only for his Language Arts class but also every night before he goes to sleep. It's wonderful to see my son not only improving in reading comprehension and writing but also to see that he is doing it using the word of God." Matt (8) particularly enjoys when he can do his reading up in a tree.

Michelle M of Louisville, KY writes: "As a former private school teacher, I like how Sonlight's lessons are laid out for you. It saves so much time! I hoped to put together my own curriculum before having children but the amount of time and energy it takes to research and explore the subjects won't allow me to now. Finding Sonlight was a relief because they have already put the time and energy into the research. Now, I am freed up to engage my children and teach them!"
