We are so happy we chose Sonlight!" writes Amanda J of Princeton, MN. "It has brought such rich books into our lives. We did not take time to read many books before we started our homeschool journey, and now we can't get enough. Each time we finish a book we agree this may be a new favorite . . . only to start the next one and fall in love with that book."
"We love how the books just flow through history and really bring it to life. We appreciate how well the curriculum is built and plan to be a Sonlight family for many years to come."
This is a picture of Lucy (9) on her last day of school with her Grade 3 All-Subjects Package."She was so proud of all the books we read, she wanted a picture with all of them!" says Amanda. "We can't wait for the next box of Sonlight books to arrive."
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.
"We have really enjoyed using Sonlight," writes Nicole W of Wyoming, MI. "It has taken the stress out of learning and added so much fun to our homeschool days. Teaching the children using this great literature has led to great discussions about the stories we read, even years after we read them. " In this picture, Gabriel (8, HBL D) does his daily Bible reading while mom checks her Instructor's Guide for the day's assignments.
