"Sonlight has been not only fun and stress-free, but also a lifesaver," writes Andriana S of Fairbanks, AK. "During a rough winter of sickness, I was still able to pick up my Instructor's Guide, get out the books and teach with ease. Watching my child learn so quickly, with such depth, and in such a small amount of time each day really gave me the inspiration I needed to keep teaching every day.

"With Sonlight, I feel we have everything we need for a complete, in-depth, Christ-centered education. My favorite part about using Sonlight is all of the 'real' books we get to read together daily.

"Sonlight is so fun to use year-round! The Science is perfect for our long summer days in the Land of the Midnight Sun." Here, friend and fellow Sonlighter, Athena M, with Noelle S (6) and Zoe M (6) share some outdoor Sonlight at the local botanical gardens, as they read How Flowers Grow (from Science A). The girls are studying Core A.

As soon as I saw Sonlight's Instructor's Guides and what awesome books we'd enjoy reading together, I didn't have to look further. My husband and I are teachers by training, so we understand the time necessary for good planning and a successful learning experience. As a mother, I also recognize that I don't have that kind of time anymore. I want to spend my days with my family, not planning for the next school day. Sonlight provides great books, incredibly organized and detailed lesson plans, the freedom to do what works best for our family, and the opportunity to teach our Christian faith. Mom and Dad here share the Good News with Lucas (5, Core A, Science A) and Carlos (2).

Sonlight's instructor guide's give us the extra time to relax and read together.   I'm glad I chose sonlight for my 3rd grader's first year.  This year I will supplement it with another grammar  program.  And will use a different science & math for my 4th grader.  But Will continue to use Sonlights literature & history.  However, I was not happy with the Sonlight K readers & phonics program.  I found it more appropriate for a preschool program than Kindergarten.  My son learned the alphabet sounds but the program lacked strenght in teaching words & blends.  Thanks Sonlight for all your amazing curriculum!
