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!" Here, Michelle's youngest, Oak (5) celebrates the freedom of homeschooling by practicing his handwriting in full costume.

"One of the benefits of Sonlight is that my kids get to align themselves with God through exploring God's world," writes Helena T of Kemaman, Malaysia. "Sonlight is great for our kids because they love listening to stories. They have tons of questions as we read, and I found that their literacy and vocabulary improved (since English is not our first language). I thank the Lord for Sonlight!"

"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.
