One of the things I love most about Sonlight has been how it has encouraged family learning. What could be more wonderful than watching big sisters and brothers reading and teaching the younger ones? When I'm reading from one of the many fabulous Sonlight books, it's magnetic. I may start reading to one child, but pretty soon, the room is quiet and several are listening and snuggling up on the couch! I just can't say enough about how the incredible literature has enhanced our togetherness. We've been using Sonlight for 13 wonderful years and are going to have our first graduate this year! Our youngest is just beginning her Sonlight adventure. Angelina (5) and Isabella (11) are using Cores A and H.
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.

It brings me to tears of gratitude when I think about all the special moments we had learning together. Even our 5-year-old who was not required to participate in school this year wanted to jump in and learn along with us." When she asked her children to choose a book for a photo to commemorate their first year of Sonlight, they voted unanimously for Homer Price. Micah (8) and Selah (7) used Sonlight B this year while their younger siblings joyfully listened in and tagged along.

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].

It was a relief to find a curriculum that had already compiled the best of the best. Before Sonlight, I made so many trips to the library to find books that enforced our learning, often to be disappointed with the selections. We love spending time together while using the Sonlight approach of living books to teach history and culture. Here, it had been raining for days and days when my daughter built a blanket fort and snuggled up with her book, Pippi Longstocking. Before long her brother joined her, and then Daddy came home. Beyla (7) and Ozzie (6) are enjoying their first year of Sonlight.
