"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.

What a blessing my Instructor's Guide is. I have complete confidence that I'm teaching what needs to be taught throughout the year. When people have asked me about homeschooling and how I know my children are learning what they need to, I've whipped out my IG and they've been blown away. Most comment that with a tool like that, they'd be able to homeschool too! Thanks to the confidence I get using an established program like Sonlight, my boys are thriving and my husband and I couldn't be happier! In their first year of homeschooling using the 4th Grade Full-Grade program, Brooks (2), Jase (7), and Carter (9) climb a tree with Dad to read a short story.

Sonlight is Christ-centered, well-organized, easy to teach, trustworthy, affordable, and most of all, fun! The teacher's guide is easy to follow, requiring no preparation or planning on my part. The books and materials are beautiful and Christ-centered, highlighting the unique people and creation of the world. And most importantly, my children love their school time: reading, creating, singing, and especially science project times with Daddy. I had no idea how much children learn through listening to books read aloud. It's truly amazing. Here, 3-year-old Keira confidently announces "and this is a chrysalis" to her 5-year-old sister, Naomi. Naomi is studying Core A in her second year of Sonlight as Keira listens in.
