It wasn't long after I opened my first Sonlight Instructor's Guide that I realized everything I needed to succeed was at my fingertips. We chose Sonlight 14 years ago, and in June, we had our first graduate. We've had such an amazing journey, and each of our five children has flourished! The literature has been outstanding, and our times of reading aloud together have created many cherished memories. We've traveled to faraway places, experienced great adventures and wept at moving situations, all while snuggling on the couch or sunning ourselves in the yard. We could never put a price on the bonds that have been formed. Angelina (6, Core B) has been on her Sonlight journey for two years. Here, Mom and daughter share a Sonlight moment.

In her fourth year of Sonlight, Abigail E of College Station, TX writes: "I love Sonlight because it does the planning for me! I don't have a teaching background and I was nervous about trying to pull together the right curriculum for my kids. Sonlight's Instructor's Guides with everything laid out day-by-day have been a lifesaver, and the notes they include have helped me become a better teacher. My kids get the benefit of a teacher who is confident and not always stressed out about lesson planning!" Abigail's three children love the freedom Sonlight gives to take their classroom anywhere they want to go. Here, Micah (8), Lizzie (6) and Jane (4) share their Sonlight books outside.

"Homeschooling four active little boys can be challenging, but Sonlight makes it possible and so much fun," writes Jenny L of Boca Raton, FL. "Sonlight includes all the materials and lays the lesson plans out so clearly and easily. When we first considered homeschooling, I was overwhelmed at the thought of how I would choose material and figure out what to do and when — on top of everything else necessary to keep our household running. A friend heard my concerns and recommended Sonlight. I'm so thankful we chose Sonlight from the start."
