"I thought Sonlight wouldn't be for us, because I didn't see myself as a 'read aloud' type of mom," writes Rebecca M of Waukesha, WI. "Finally, I decided to give it a try, and I am so happy I did! I have discovered I really do love reading with my children, and I am so thankful for the amazing books Sonlight provides. My son Aiden (11) used to want to skip books because they looked boring, but slowly he discovered you should never judge a book by its cover! I'm amazed how enjoyable Sonlight has made our school times together. This has been by far our favorite homeschooling year." Pictured, Aiden and Audrey (8) enjoy their books together. The M's are in their eighth year of homeschooling, their second with Sonlight.

I have tried many curriculums and Sonlight is the only one that my children actually love to do. I have three favorite things about Sonlight: the top quality education, the love for learning and reading my children are gaining, and the beautiful memories we are making. I pieced together curriculum for years in order to achieve the same effect that I get with Sonlight. But by buying Sonlight I save myself time, money, and headaches, and my children still get the highest quality education.

Thanks to Sonlight's training, my daughter Rachel is in the habit of integrating everything she learns into the 'big picture' of time and place. Before she can read anything, she looks at her timeline to understand where the story takes place in the context of history. She'll also find the story's location on the map. She loves to peruse The Timeline Book [RR120] from beginning to end. I feel she has a great grasp on the big picture. In her fourth year of Sonlight, Rachel (7) uses Google to locate where Little Pear (from Core B) took place.
