Having the Instructor's Guide proved to be a tremendous blessing when Mom's health suddenly became worse. We decided to share the instructing with our 12-year-old-daughter. She would read the Read-Alouds, instruct in Handwriting and Math, and complete Science A. Mom would read the Bible and History and cover Language Arts. Following the IG proved extremely helpful during this period. We discovered that even if you can't stick to the schedule perfectly, the help of having a schedule you don't have to create yourself is a blessing. Havilah (15, Core 200), Cosette and Anakin (13 and 11, Core F), Tirian and Aravis (8 and 6, Core A), Liesl (4) and Adelina (2) share an Under the Sea adventure during their annual at-the-beach vacation.

My girls actually learned more in the first month [of Sonlight] than they had the whole year before! Sonlight was recommended by a homeschooling mom who had four sons. I looked it over, and because of the lesson planning already being done for you, I thought it was the answer for having a newborn in our house. I thought we'd just 'try it out' for one year to see how it went. Well, when the books came, we fell in love! The W family has now used Sonlight for four years. Isabella (11) and Amarissa (9) are using Core E as siblings (not pictured) Arlin (4) and Ellianna (2) expore the Preschool Multi-Subject Package.
