One of the things I love most about Sonlight has been how it has encouraged family learning. What could be more wonderful than watching big sisters and brothers reading and teaching the younger ones? When I'm reading from one of the many fabulous Sonlight books, it's magnetic. I may start reading to one child, but pretty soon, the room is quiet and several are listening and snuggling up on the couch! I just can't say enough about how the incredible literature has enhanced our togetherness. We've been using Sonlight for 13 wonderful years and are going to have our first graduate this year! Our youngest is just beginning her Sonlight adventure. Angelina (5) and Isabella (11) are using Cores A and H.

"Sonlight's flexibility allowed us to do school together, despite the differences in my kids' ages," writes Rachel B. of Weatherford, TX. "We just finished our first year homeschooling two children, and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was! James (5) was eager to jump into the History / Bible / Literature program Elizabeth (8) was using. Anne (2) got a kick out of 'supervising' her older siblings with me!" Elizabeth, James and Anne pose with all their Sonlight Read-Alouds.

We love the wide variety of literature selections Sonlight includes in each Core. Through the engaging literary characters, inspiring missionary biographies and excellent history books, my children have grown in their understanding of people around them, in their heart for the world, in their awe of God's power at work today, and in their sense of place and purpose in this world. They giggled their way through Dad's reading of My Father's Dragon. How would we ever have found this wonderful book without Sonlight? Strat (5) and Joy (7) are studying Core C in their second Sonlight year.
