"After using Sonlight for just one year, I'm completely astonished how well my daughter reads," writes Jessie S of Deridder, LA. "Before we started using Sonlight, she absolutely loathed it. After using Core B with Grade 1 Readers, her reading skills took off and she now reads with amazing fluency. Reading has become enjoyable, and she actually offers to read to her younger siblings, much to their delight." Here, Journie (6) shares a good read with sister Piper (3) and brother Seeley (2).

 One of the things I love most about Sonlight has been how it has encouraged family learning. What could be more wonderful than watching big sisters and brothers reading and teaching the younger ones? When I'm reading from one of the many fabulous Sonlight books, it's magnetic. I may start reading to one child, but pretty soon, the room is quiet and several are listening and snuggling up on the couch! I just can't say enough about how the incredible literature has enhanced our togetherness. We've been using Sonlight for 13 wonderful years and are going to have our first graduate this year! Our youngest is just beginning her Sonlight adventure. Angelina (5) and Isabella (11) are using Cores A and H.

"Sonlight has helped us create a new family culture around fantastic literature. We love having amazing books for our kids to read. We now live in a country [Fiji] where books are not readily available, libraries are sparse and there are very few stores with children's books available. The Read-Alouds became our family entertainment and provided something routine and rich for our family as we transitioned into life overseas [as missionaries for Youth With a Mission]. We're so grateful for the quality, depth and worldview Sonlight provides. The excitement of having great stories at our fingertips has moulded our family into lifelong learners!"
