"Though diagnosed with a rare thyroid disease in the middle of the school year, Zoe learned to read full chapter books because of the way Sonlight instills a deep love of learning through incredible literature. The difficulty she went through was tough because she previously learned everything at high speed. Thankfully, we've been using Sonlight since kindergarten, and that has proven to be a successful choice. She never stopped loving to learn and was so excited to have read her first chapter book, Pippi Longstocking. Thanks for making it easy on families when life gets hard." Zoe (7) loves the Sonlight C story selections. –  Athena M of Fairbanks, AK

"Learning through literature enables my kids to feel like they know the characters and to gain a deeper understanding of the past and the world around them. We considered going back to a textbook approach for high school, but after one tedious chapter in a history book, we were reminded what a difference Sonlight makes. My younger kids could answer the test questions better than my high schooler who read the textbook because they'd been reading about the same period in The Story of the World. Making history come alive is a much better way to learn!" In their family's ninth year of Sonlight, Anna (11, Level 100) and Ellie (8, Level D) are eager to open their Box Day treasure.– Bethany N of Yorktown, TX

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.
