"Our family has always loved to read, but the quality and depth of our reading material has been greatly enhanced in our first year with Sonlight," writes Kortney V of Des Moines, IA. "I took this photo from our dining room table; our two youngest Sonlighters snuck away to find their own books to read while I worked with our older students." Pictured, Barrett (4) and Mabel (1) read to themselves while their siblings work.

"When I opened my first box of Sonlight, there was a slight moment of panic ... until I opened the Instructor's Guide," writes Lorelei K of The Woodlands, TX. "The IG laid out our first day of homeschool. Neatly outlined and with helpful suggestions along the way, the IG sat beside me like an old friend helping me on my journey. Two years and thousands of memories later, we love Sonlight!" Here, Christopher (9, Sonlight C) eagerly reads ahead in McBroom's Wonderful One-Acre Farm.

"We love the capacity Sonlight homeschooling builds in our children to cooperate and share their learning experiences with siblings," says Rebekah P of Anchorage, AK. "It's a great foundation for a life-long devotion to learning and growing hand-in-hand with the most significant people in your life." Pictured, twin second-graders Dora and Sylvia were fascinated by studying electricity this year! As their Sonlight year progressed, they became more and more confident at setting up their science activities independently. The C's have been Sonlighting for three years.
