Sonlight lessons are all planned out for me and they include all kinds of fun activities. This was our first year homeschooling. I've been terribly busy and sleep-deprived with a new baby and three young children. Using Sonlight's Science A program was the best decision I could have made. Although the program is laid out in a weekly schedule, I've found it easy to adjust according to our needs. Some weeks we do a bit each day. Other times we have a 'Science Day' and do a week's worth of lessons and activities all at once. I simply pick up where we left off. Here, Gideon (2), Miriam (5) and Tabitha (6) make "hot lava" while studying volcanoes.

"With Sonlight, we can learn anywhere!" says Rachel M of Ballston Spa, NY. "My kids always bring their books on trips, and we love how easy it is to grab everything and go. Evelyn (12) and Luke (9) used Sonlight for two years before we put them in a private school. We were worried that they would be behind, but they were ahead of the rest of the class! After just a few weeks, they were begging to come back to Sonlight, and now we're here to stay!" Pictured, Luke, Rachel, and Evelyn enjoy Favorite Poems Old and New together.

After a stressful year, I knew I needed a curriculum I could count on – one that would literally tell me what to do. I sure found it with Sonlight! I tried the eclectic route the year before and it was mayhem. With Sonlight, each day tells me what and how much to do, and it's simple to follow. The incredible books brought the love of learning to all of us and my children thrived. Sonlight made me a confident homeschooler. On their first Box Day, Liliana 7 and Talia 4 (Core B) are engrossed in books and delighted to learn they'll be reading every one!
