"We've been a Sonlight family for most of the past 15 years," writes Melissa C of Wray, CO. "It was the first curriculum we ever researched and, after looking into dozens of others (and using some of them), the one we came back to. I love that the Instructor's Guide does all the planning for me. Our bookworm kids devour the Readers, and even our kids who didn't enjoy reading have been captivated by the literature. Read-Aloud time is, hands down, our favorite part of the day! It's like pulling old friends off the shelf as we read and reread them to our five kids." Eloise (13, HBL W) celebrates the end of the year with her finished stack of books!

Sonlight's Language Arts programs are so versatile. This year is the third time through Language Arts 1 for our family, and I have been able to tailor the program to meet the needs of each individual child. If one child needs more work with a certain concept, there are plenty of extra activities in the Instructor's Guide that I can choose from to reinforce that concept. But if they catch on quickly, I have the option of leaving out the extra activities. We also love Sonlight's choices for Readers. The books in Language Arts 1 are familiar favorites that the little ones often pull off the shelf for Mommy to read. Here, Katie (7) reads to Mom as Meghan (3) and Karson (2) eagerly join in for the story. 

"Our family absolutely loves Sonlight," writes Cassandra G of Lexington, KY. "We are finishing up History / Bible / Literature A and Science A, and every day they ask if we are doing a science experiment or video today. If not, they ask to re-watch one of the videos we have seen already! When I started looking into homeschooling I tried to piece it all together myself, but I wasn't happy with it. I wanted to spend time with my children learning, not planning. I can't thank Sonlight enough for putting together such wonderful curriculum. Now we can open and go wherever we are!"
