"A fellow missionary suggested Sonlight to me," writes Amos C of Micronesia, "and I've never felt like switching. The Sonlight books do more to teach good values and foster curiosity than a textbook ever could! Over the years, more kids have joined our homeschool, and it has been a joy to watch them take off. They actually complain when we have a holiday!" Pictured,  Metauw (9), Tommy (8), JP (8), Raina (7), Aliyah (10), Jade (8), and PJ (9) enjoy project day at school! The C's have been Sonlighting for four years.

Before we made our decision to use Sonlight, I felt as if I'd never move beyond an endless succession of 'Teacher Planning Days. Things changed when we started the Core P4/5 curriculum – I could stop planning and start doing! Now I'm checking off boxes instead of constantly creating them. We've found it easy to use Sonlight to enrich our family activities. We read, and then we 'do' (and sometimes we even read while we 'do')! Hiking in the Appalachians, Julia, Lincoln (4), baby brother Zane and cousin Ben (9) stopped to read Caterpillars and Butterflies … and were surprised by a real tiger swallowtail! In his first Sonlight year, Lincoln is studying Core P4/5 and Science A.
