Sonlight's instructor guide's give us the extra time to relax and read together.   I'm glad I chose sonlight for my 3rd grader's first year.  This year I will supplement it with another grammar  program.  And will use a different science & math for my 4th grader.  But Will continue to use Sonlights literature & history.  However, I was not happy with the Sonlight K readers & phonics program.  I found it more appropriate for a preschool program than Kindergarten.  My son learned the alphabet sounds but the program lacked strenght in teaching words & blends.  Thanks Sonlight for all your amazing curriculum!

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 was initially unsure about homeschooling, but Sonlight's Instructor's Guide makes it so easy for me to plan our lessons and not worry about missing something important. I've been surprised by how easy it is to include both boys (ages 6 and 4) in our Core studies. What first excited us about Sonlight was its international focus. We love how the Core combines maps, missionary stories, and books with a range of cultures and races to show our children the beauty and importance of the world beyond their small town. Jeremiah (6) and Nathaniel (4) love to use their Markable Map (#MAP) to find the places they learn about in Core B." – Sara R, La Fayette, GA
