In the beginning, I pulled from different places to teach and always felt like I was missing something. Sonlight has everything laid out, so I can spend more time enjoying the learning process with my girls instead of stressing that they're not getting the whole story. We especially love the Read-Alouds, the highlight of our day. It's not uncommon for me to start reading while they lounge about, before they're drawn in and fully focused on the story, asking questions and discussing. 'I wonder what will happen to Charlotte?', my youngest pondered as we read Charlotte's Web [from Core B]. I'm so glad we found you! Emily (8) and Katie (6) are studying Core B in their second year of Sonlight.

I chose Core D+E for my son's fifth grade education because I wanted him to get a firm foundation of American history before learning about the rest of the world. I was hesitant to start homeschooling again after a failed attempt, so I asked my sister who has homeschooled for 20 years what to do, and she told me about Sonlight. She knew that Caleb is a very strong reader and felt it would appeal to him because of the Readers and the way it incorporates history so strongly into the curriculum. He has found it challenging, exciting and enjoyable! Caleb (10) here reads poetry to baby sister Charity
