"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.

"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.

I'm so thankful for Sonlight's Language Arts guidance. We kept plugging away and I took faith in the tips and pointers (and Ruth Beechick's book). I won't forget the week everything seemed to brighten and I wasn't 'making' Zeke read anymore. He now says reading is his favorite! Here, Zeke (7, Core C) and Amelia (4, Pre-Kindergarten Multi-Subject) think little sister Isabella's hair looks like Ping from Little Pear [Core B].
