I have a friend who uses another curriculum, and she is always stressed out about time. Sonlight is different. I feel free to teach my children using their learning styles and my teaching style. The Instructor's Guides are great – I know exactly what to do each day. We can take time off if needed for spontaneity or vacation or whatever. The single BEST thing about Sonlight is all the wonderful books. Here, superhero Maximus (6) reads his morning devotions.

Sonlight has kept its promise to give my children a love of reading. I'm building my home around your Cores. The six-, four- and two-year-old love to listen and sing along to songs about the United States. History is my daughter's favorite. She's usually reading 3–4 books at the same time, which she keeps in different locations around the house.On this day, a lake trip was cancelled due to rain. Without even taking off their suits, they climbed on the couch and got lost in their books. Grace (9), Bryce (6) and Reece (4) are immersed in Core E, and Readers Grade 4–5 and Grade 2 in the family's fifth year with Sonlight.

"My son Asher (13) and I were so excited when History / Bible / Literature J was announced!" says Tracy M of Germantown, MD. "This may have been our most exciting box day; there were so many amazing new books. All the books in J seem perfectly chosen for this season of life. It's clear a great deal of thought and energy was put into this program." In this picture, Asher reads Code Talkers, one of his favorites from HBL J. Asher, the oldest in a family of four, has been homeschooled for nine years, the last five with Sonlight.
