"Story of our Sonlight life: always wanting more," writes Kevin S of Chesapeake, VA.  "By the end of the first week [of P4/5], we were ahead of schedule. I finally had to tell Kayleigh 'no more.' We did Core F for more than two years. You'd think that we'd be tired of it, but we were sad to see it end. The books were so good I'm surprised we were able to stretch it out, with all of the sneaky reading ahead that goes on around here!" Here, Mackenzie (11, Core F), who's been studying with Sonlight for eight years, is caught on camera, peeking at the next day's lesson. Enthusiastic sister Kayleigh (4) is a new Sonlight student.

Sonlight gives my children a love for learning, and if they love learning, they can succeed in whatever they decide to do in life. Great books make History and Science come alive. Through reading, their vocabulary grows and they learn proper grammar and writing. It's exciting to see them seek out more information on a subject, and for fun, reenact what they're learning. Cameron (11) and Jackson (9), in their third year of Sonlight adventures, are exploring Core F.

What a blessing my Instructor's Guide is. I have complete confidence that I'm teaching what needs to be taught throughout the year. When people have asked me about homeschooling and how I know my children are learning what they need to, I've whipped out my IG and they've been blown away. Most comment that with a tool like that, they'd be able to homeschool too! Thanks to the confidence I get using an established program like Sonlight, my boys are thriving and my husband and I couldn't be happier! In their first year of homeschooling using the 4th Grade Full-Grade program, Brooks (2), Jase (7), and Carter (9) climb a tree with Dad to read a short story.
