Every year, I think 'this is my favorite History / Bible / Literature,' and every following year, the new one blows me away all over again," writes Allison H of Bridgeport, WV. "I have yet to part with any of our Sonlight books, and we've all enjoyed rereading many of the earlier Readers and Read-Alouds. Sonlight has given my children a broad view of the world and a deep connection with each other." Pictured, Seth (13), Ruthie (9), and Hadley (11) enjoy a history lesson while getting ready for the day. The H family has been Sonlighting for seven years.

The Christian worldview of Sonlight brought me to this program. The authentic and compelling literature make it a pleasure and joy to use. We homeschool our six children (ages 2–15), and Sonlight has been the answer to prayer. All our children love to read and insist that we continue with Read-Alouds, even throughout summer break. The discussions that result from the materials are phenomenal. Whenever I have 'one of those days' where I wonder if I'm doing things right, I look at this picture and I'm reassured! Though 8-year-old Griffin was supposedly "just listening" to his older brothers' Core E history reading, he was so taken in that he promoted himself right into their Core. The M family has now homeschooled for four years and used Sonlight for three.

Sonlight has been a life-changing curriculum for our family. Five of our children have graduated and our younger children are fortunate to have older siblings who can relate and fellowship over the books they're using. They have a bond through Sonlight books that will last when their families someday visit each other. My 22-year-old daughter recently said, 'Mom, make sure the kids take care of those [books], I want them for my kids one day.' What powerful words; I've never heard any of my children say that about the dry, daunting texts we previously used!
