Through the wonderful books included in Core D, we've been able to better understand the lives of the Navajo, Hopi and Anasazi people who lived on this land. We choose Sonlight because we want learning to be enjoyable and meaningful for our children. Sonlight has been an integral piece of our transition from the city to rural life on a reservation. Books such as the American Indian Prayer Guide and Walk the Worlds Rim have opened our eyes to the ways in which people survived here and the historical wounds that still affect some of them today. Seen here reading against a rock-and-petroglyphs backdrop, Annika and Isaak (11 and 8, Core D) and Mykah (5, P3/4 Multi-Subject) have been studying with Sonight three years.
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.
Our family enjoys learning about the many cultures and different ways of life around the world that Sonlight provides. The literature that accompanies each Core is wonderful and the selections are made with extreme care. The questions open up another world for the children to ponder and discuss as they work their way through the books. Our family enjoys the time we spend together making learning enjoyable and exciting. After reading Walk the Worlds Rim, we headed to Mesa Verde to explore the cliff dwellings and do some investigating of our own. In the family's fourth Sonlight year, Ronnie (9), Reegan (7) and Abigail (11) are studying Cores D and E.
"Sonlight has helped us create a new family culture around fantastic literature. We love having amazing books for our kids to read. We now live in a country [Fiji] where books are not readily available, libraries are sparse and there are very few stores with children's books available. The Read-Alouds became our family entertainment and provided something routine and rich for our family as we transitioned into life overseas [as missionaries for Youth With a Mission]. We're so grateful for the quality, depth and worldview Sonlight provides. The excitement of having great stories at our fingertips has moulded our family into lifelong learners!"
