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.

"Read-Aloud time has become an anchor for family life in our home. Taking time each day to read together has a way of centering our relationships. When we began learning with Sonlight, I was skeptical that my 6-year-old would sit and listen to an entire Bible passage, History lesson or Read-Aloud chapter, as his attention span is short. But Sonlight's books are so well-chosen that he's captivated from start to finish. He surprises me by recounting events from our reading with amazing detail, even recreating scenes for imaginary play. In their second year of Sonlight, Noah (7) and Elijah (9) enjoy The Adventures of Sir Lancelot the Great, their favorite Core C adventure.

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].
