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.

"Using Sonlight really helps keep our homeschool days relaxed," says Jana M of Searcy, AR. "The Instructor's Guides are easy to use and allow us to move at our own pace. I especially love the detail in the IGs, allowing me to enrich my son's learning with more detail and biblical references. Visual aids like the Markable Map also make such a difference, since Kage is a visual learner." Here, Kage (6, First Grade ASP) labels the continents on his Markable Map.

"We started researching curricula when our eldest daughter Celine (17) was 5. When we found Sonlight, we knew it was the answer to our prayers," says Magdaline M of Porter, TX. "My husband and I are both European, so we wanted a curriculum that spent a lot of time on World History so our children would have a deep understanding of and respect for other cultures. All five of our girls are succeeding. We credit their success to the literature-rich curriculum and life-saving Instructor's Guides that Sonlight provides."
