The Instructor's Guide helps me to be prepared each day, with lessons that I'm confident of and interested in teaching. The Markable Maps and the History Timeline Figures have given me a big-picture view of world history and geography that I lacked after all my schooling, including college! The characters in the Read-Alouds feel like family and become part of our daily discussion, teaching and training. Hanna (4, P4/5 Multi-Subject), Claire (7, Core B) and Dad observe tadpoles scooped from a neighbor's pond on a rainy day.

Sonlight has developed a love of learning in all three of my children. As a speech-language pathologist, I was excited by the rich language and vocabulary each Core contains.  Each of our kids absolutely relishes the Sonlight books. I'm personally excited to re-use our first Core this year for Faith and am blessed to watch her love of learning grow as richly as her brothers. Here, Jameson (11, Core F) teaches Faith (5, Core A) how to use The Timeline Book (#RR120) to track world history. 

With Sonlight as a guide, the countries and people of the world seem like neighbors. God brought our book-loving family together from all over the world. No matter what the reading level, Sonlight has books to entertain, excite and challenge our children to the next level. We're quickly becoming book snobs! Only the best literature, like the books we receive in our Sonlight box each year, make it into our school time and bedtime reading. The H family, including Grace (8), Jack (7), Ana (5) and Will (4), have been exploring their world with Sonlight for four years. Here, they're reading Maps and Globes from Core C.
