I love being able to order a complete Core curriculum and know that all the materials I need will be delivered right to my door. The Instructors Guide takes the work out of planning. Here, Jeremiah (8) and Nathaniel (5) enjoy a day of school outdoors.  

"We really like the Language Arts updates! There are more directions within the child's Activity Sheets and the rubrics in the IG help me evaluate my son's writing," writes Kim M of Maryville, TN. In this photo, Wesley (10, HBL E) prepares a notecard for his pro/cons speech for Week 33 of the Language Arts E program. Mom Kim says Wesley is also a great help to younger brother Jay (8) as he advises and collaborates on writing assignments for Language Arts D. The M's have been Sonlighting for three years.

Sonlight lessons are all planned out for me and they include all kinds of fun activities. This was our first year homeschooling. I've been terribly busy and sleep-deprived with a new baby and three young children. Using Sonlight's Science A program was the best decision I could have made. Although the program is laid out in a weekly schedule, I've found it easy to adjust according to our needs. Some weeks we do a bit each day. Other times we have a 'Science Day' and do a week's worth of lessons and activities all at once. I simply pick up where we left off.
