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! Isaiah's (9, Core D+E) interest in and knowledge of railroads broadened immensely through The Landmark History of the American People.

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.

"For the first time, our school for missionary kids is using Sonlight, though several of our families have used it personally," writes Stephanie M from Lebanon, TN. "We have seen improvements in reading comprehension, spelling and grammar, as well as an increased love for stories and stoytelling in our kids this year. We look forward to continuing to use Sonlight on our mission station in Papua New Guinea!"
