"Learning through literature enables my kids to feel like they know the characters and to gain a deeper understanding of the past and the world around them. We considered going back to a textbook approach for high school, but after one tedious chapter in a history book, we were reminded what a difference Sonlight makes. My younger kids could answer the test questions better than my high schooler who read the textbook because they'd been reading about the same period in The Story of the World. Making history come alive is a much better way to learn!" In their family's ninth year of Sonlight, Anna (11, Level 100) and Ellie (8, Level D) are eager to open their Box Day treasure.– Bethany N of Yorktown, TX
Sonlight has developed a love of learning in all three of my children. As a speech-language pathologist, I was excited by the rich language and vocabulary each Core contains. Each of our kids absolutely relishes the Sonlight books. I'm personally excited to re-use our first Core this year for Faith and am blessed to watch her love of learning grow as richly as her brothers. Here, Jameson (11, Core F) teaches Faith (5, Core A) how to use The Timeline Book (#RR120) to track world history.
Thanks to Sonlight's training, my daughter Rachel is in the habit of integrating everything she learns into the 'big picture' of time and place. Before she can read anything, she looks at her timeline to understand where the story takes place in the context of history. She'll also find the story's location on the map. She loves to peruse The Timeline Book [RR120] from beginning to end. I feel she has a great grasp on the big picture. In her fourth year of Sonlight, Rachel (7) uses Google to locate where Little Pear (from Core B) took place.

Four weeks before the picnic day baseball game against the Lawson Lions, Ralph Jackson has deserted Brookfield School. His friends Trent, Wilmer and Harley aren't happy about it, and receive heckling from their classmates. Matters worsen when Archibald Brewster, the new kid who wears suits and arrives to school via chauffer, shows up and won't go away. Over the following weeks, the Brookfield Bumblebees learn that not everything is what it seems.
