For our first year of homeschooling, I couldn't have asked for an easier-to-follow Instructor's Guide. To see the love of books through my children's eyes is amazing! When they're finished with their schoolwork, they even choose reading for their fun activities. Sparked with an interested for the homeless after reading George Muller in our Read-Alouds, Abby collected 144 blankets. The encouragement that book gave her for this mission is one we could've never taught on our own. Here Abby (7, Core B+C) shows her goal checklist and the blankets she collected during her first year of Sonlight living and giving.

After a stressful year, I knew I needed a curriculum I could count on – one that would literally tell me what to do. I sure found it with Sonlight! I tried the eclectic route the year before and it was mayhem. With Sonlight, each day tells me what and how much to do, and it's simple to follow. The incredible books brought the love of learning to all of us and my children thrived. Sonlight made me a confident homeschooler. On their first Box Day, Liliana 7 and Talia 4 (Core B) are engrossed in books and delighted to learn they'll be reading every one!

"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.
