"I was so excited when I browsed my first Sonlight catalog and saw they included Handwriting Without Tears," writes Melissa N of Chittenango, NY. "I was already working with Handwriting Without Tears when our first Sonlight materials arrived and found integrating the Sonlight Language Arts for Grade K Readers program into what we were already doing an easy transition. Thank you Sonlight for recognizing that every child is different and for giving parents a variety of options to choose from!" Here, Sawyer (5) and Coen (3) work with the Handwriting Without Tears manipulatives in their second year of Sonlight.

It's incredible to see excitement on the girls' faces as history becomes so much more than just reading a book. As missionaries, we have a special love for the people here. Through Sonlight, our kids are learning about and loving people from all over the world. This year we got to visit many of the sights we learned about in Incas, Aztecs, Mayans. The ruins, temples, llama farm and scenery had meaning because of what we read. We love the world view from high (10,000 ft.) in the Andes Mountains, where we sit and study every morning, and we love the worldview Sonlight brings us every day! Colette (10, Core F) and Solana (8, Core C) have been exploring the world with Sonlight for six years.
 

"I'm heading off to college for the first time and can't help but feel a little jealous of my siblings, because they'll be doing Sonlight again this year," writes Kailey H of Marshfield, WI. "My family has loved learning so much since we started using Sonlight. History became my favorite subject, and I consumed all the books in each Core. I'm grateful for the in-depth Student Guides that forced me to think critically and caused me to formulate my own values. I feel well-prepared, and the thought of writing a college-level essay doesn't frighten me. I know I have the tools to be successful.
