"Sonlight Box Day!!" writes Kim B of Johnson City, TN. "It's almost as exciting as Christmas morning! We are in the trenches of First Grade, but our Second Grade curriculum arrived. Look at all those books! We are committed to falling in love with learning for our third year. It's a blessing to homeschool with my daughter. I never thought I could, or would, homeschool. Sonlight makes it not only doable, but one of the best gifts I can give her. We are so grateful for the Christ-centered, literature-rich curriculum that Sonlight offers." In this picture, Novella (6) shows off her new Second Grade curriculum.

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.

 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.
