"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.

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.

I can trust Sonlight to have interesting, challenging, Christ-centered materials that are always just right for Elizabeth's academic level. My husband and I are so thankful for the flexibility a Sonlight education offers. We can have school anywhere, anytime! As a working mother, my time is often short. I'm so grateful that I can open my Sonlight [Instructor's Guide] binder and have my little girl's education all planned out. Like most Sonlight families, Box Day is one of the most exciting days in our year! The joy on Elizabeth's (6) face is apparent as she hugs her Core C materials in preparation for her third Sonlight year.
