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.

Thank you, Sonlight, for such lovely books! I have complete trust in the Core selections, knowing my kids will be absorbed and stimulated. I can relax, knowing I will have plenty of help from the well-prepared notes, to discuss, with grace, any difficult issues they may encounter. Additionally, one of the best things about Sonlight's Science program is the interest it inspires in the real world. Our whole family is enjoying this journey of discovery by taking a day each week to explore a local nature reserve. I'm amazed at how this consolidates concepts we've just learned about. Here, Evie (7, Core B) and Corban (4, P3/4) enthusiastically explore a marsh.

It truly was a miracle when I took my son with Asperger syndrome out of public school and began homeschooling [with Sonlight. The books are captivating. The Instructors Guides are so easy to use and helpful. Everything you need is right there, ready to go. The Sonlight experience is a warm bonding time with parents and siblings. I still remember the feeling of being rescued and being placed in a wonderland.
