In her ninth year of Sonlight, Robin P of Cibolo, TX writes: "Our family has amassed a wonderful collection of quality books with Sonlight and we enjoy an excellent family library.  Autumn (13) and Bailey (11) love to read and always take a book with them everywhere we go. We are never in short supply with shelves full of good books. Although reading may seem like a solitary activity, we have found that it actually builds family bonds. The Read-Alouds provide wonderful family moments and the girls are also drawn together over a good book." Here, the sisters grabbed two favorites from their Sonlight H studies and found a cozy spot while they waited for an event to begin.

We love Sonlight because it teaches our children to think critically about what they are learning. It challenges them to carefully consider the worldview that the media and many of their friends hold. They are learning that the biblical worldview is supported by science (among other subjects) and they are learning how to defend their faith. Sonlight also breaks us free from the 'school at home' mindset by allowing a more relaxed learning environment and encouraging discussion rather than completing lots of worksheets. Thanks Sonlight!

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.
