"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.

"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.

"One of the greatest gifts Sonlight has given us is the books that light up our day," writes Mandi V of Lynchburg, VA. "Our backyard was transformed into the forest in Kildee House, our house was an Alaskan schoolroom during The Year of Miss Agnes, and so on. We don't have to travel far to enjoy the living books Sonlight provides. By the end of our first year, I knew homeschooling was the best decision we'd made, and that we'd be a Sonlight family for a very long time." In this picture, Jeremiah (8), Jadon (6), and Ezekiel (3) think how their Animal Poetry can come alive.
