I discovered Sonlight 16 years ago and boy, am I glad I did! The high interest level of Sonlight books have given my active boys (and my more tranquil daughter) the opportunity to hear and learn from great books even if they couldn't sit still very long. Even in high school, we choose some books to read aloud because we enjoy books together and it has become part of our DNA. Although this photo is staged, 17-year-old Nathaniel really can maneuver a soccer ball while he reads or listens to Christie read. He is studying Core 300 and British Literature in his twelfth and final year of Sonlight. His three older siblings all used Sonlight from 6th grade through high school, graduated college, and are now working.
I've already seen the results [of Sonlight] in the high scores achieved on SATs and ACTs. By time they get to college, I'm confident that my children will be capable of picking up almost any book on any subject and teaching themselves the material. Weighing in on her Teaching Textbooks experience, Joy (10) says, "I like the little characters that give me hints; they're cute!"
"Sonlight helps us instill a biblical worldview and teach our children how to think through what they believe," writes Nicholas D, Green Bay, WI. "It's fun to see God bring up lessons we're learning through our books at other times during the day. We appreciate the study of world cultures and the focus on sharing God's love with all people. Reading together prompts fascinating discussions and encourages us to ask questions. Sonlight truly inspires a lifestyle of learning and makes it easy for us to learn together as a family. Here, nobody wants to miss out on Read-Aloud time, even if they've heard the story before! Kalysta (5) and Tryana (6) are using Core A, Myranda (9) Core E and Alyssa (12) Core H in the family's eighth Sonlight year.

We love Sonlight because it teaches our children to think critically about what they are learning. It challenges them to carefully consider the worldview that the media and many of their friends hold. They are learning that the biblical worldview is supported by science (among other subjects) and they are learning how to defend their faith. Sonlight also breaks us free from the 'school at home' mindset by allowing a more relaxed learning environment and encouraging discussion rather than completing lots of worksheets. Thanks Sonlight! Here, twelve-year-old Mackenzie reads from Science G in her third year of Sonlight.
