"Sonlight has chosen some very special books that have uniquely shaped our lives," writes Christy W. "My kids still love books from their first Core. Their favorite of all time is Things People Do. They must have read it a hundred times! This past year, our favorite was Red Sails to Capri. Although we read it at bedtime, we never got sleepy. In fact, we laughed so loudly that Dad came in to see why we were making so much noise! I treasure each day, as we make lifelong memories together." Jessica (9) and Kylie (7) are reading their way through Core D in the family's fifth year of Sonlight.

In the beginning, I pulled from different places to teach and always felt like I was missing something. Sonlight has everything laid out, so I can spend more time enjoying the learning process with my girls instead of stressing that they're not getting the whole story. We especially love the Read-Alouds, the highlight of our day. It's not uncommon for me to start reading while they lounge about, before they're drawn in and fully focused on the story, asking questions and discussing. 'I wonder what will happen to Charlotte?', my youngest pondered as we read Charlotte's Web [from Core B]. I'm so glad we found you! Emily (8) and Katie (6) are studying Core B in their second year of Sonlight.

"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.
