"The kids always look forward to Box Day, but as a Sonlight mom, I'm most excited for Catalog Day!" writes Michelle S of College Station, TX. "We originally decided to homeschool to strengthen the bonds between our kids. After 5 years, we are so grateful to have kids who enjoy learning together. We are so glad we chose Sonlight to foster that closeness!" Pictured, Michelle researches what next year with Sonlight will bring.

"Thanks to Sonlight my kids are excited about learning and I feel well-prepared to teach them!" writes Rachyl R of Harrisburg, IL. "Sonlight has made learning come alive for us. We can open up a book and immediately be transported into a new world. As we adventured through American History this year with Level D, my kids were able to explore right along with Lewis and Clark, see what it was like to be there when the Constitution was signed, go on a mission with Adoniram Judson, and so much more. I often find my daughter up in bed at night sneaking in the next chapter in a Read-Aloud! " Here, Isabel (9) and Gunnar (6) learn about growing corn and beans with their famer father and a science experiments book from Science D.

"The great variety of topics covered in the Sonlight curriculum has provided so many opportunities to discuss important issues as a family. Our children understand that there is a world full of physical and spiritual needs, and countless people to whom we can show Christ's love. Read-Alouds are undoubtedly the highlight of our day. Sonlight Readers, with their great character development and interesting stories, have given my children a love of reading."
