The Teacher's Guides and the well-chosen classical books are the key to Sonlight's success. I also love how they recommended other resources, like Explode the Code and Handwriting Without Tears, which work hand-in-hand with the curriculum. With Sonlight, I'm able to work with my kids on a daily basis on a continuum of excellent learning. I see my children's world expanding and it makes me excited to be their teacher. For the first time, I feel confident and comfortable with my decision to home educate. My kids finally enjoy homeschooling and I absolutely love teaching. In their third Sonlight year, John-Paul and Emelie (9 and 8, Core B+C) take their Math outdoors.

"I was hesitant to begin the homeschooling journey," writes Brittany E of Strafford, MO. "It actually made me cry. But I knew it was the best option for the unique needs of my child, and I knew the Lord would give me the strength.

Handwriting Without Tears is a fabulous program. I have been amazed how much more confident my daughter is at writing within two short months. Not only did her handwriting improve but she grasped letters and numbers so much better! It is so well structured that your child learns so much in just a few short lessons. Isabella loves the colorful and fun workbook as well as the hands-on activities that come with it, such as the chalkboard and wood blocks. Four-year-old Isabella proudly displays her handiwork from the Handwriting Without Tears Package K (#HWK).
