"I have seen huge growth in my children's Language Arts ability this year," writes Andrea H of Kalispell, MT. "We started out with tears when it came to the Creative Expression writing assignments and now it's exciting to see everyone pull out their binders and eagerly write their ideas down." Here, Andrea and her children read by the teepee they built after learning about different kinds of homes in Sonlight A's Living Long Ago.

Sonlight is the way you wish you'd been taught. I would have loved school in a tree fort or perched on a mountainside with a fantastic book! Since I discovered Sonlight, my 7-year-old has gone from dreading reading to loving it. The books capture his heart and make for great discussions and character development. The other day he said, 'I think the best job you could ever have is to be a missionary.' Raising our children to love God and to love learning about his world is our goal. Sonlight helps us accomplish this in spades. Cole (7, Core A) and Locke (3, P3/4 Multi-Subject) love to learn in the hammock.

Our boys already have a deep knowledge of other cultures and the world's history thanks to Sonlight. They will grow up making decisions by comparing where others have been before us to where we are now. Armed with this knowledge they can make wise choices as they become leaders in the future generation. Here, Jesica used a lesson in Core A and added a fun local field trip to study the rich culture of American Indians and cowboys. Taylan (9), Shaydyn (6) and Tresstyn (3) will finish Core A and move to Core B in their fourth year of Sonlight.
