I appreciate Sonlight's emphasis on spending time in daily Bible reading and scripture memory with my children. Cindy loves the natural opportunities to build family memories such as this one, where 7-year-old Quinlan shares a Bible story with his baby sister.

Thanks so much for saving our homeschooling experience! We have been homeschooling our oldest from the beginning, but it seemed to get harder each year. We were using a popular workbook-based curriculum for 3 years and then switched, out of desperation, to a computer-based program. But all we got was cries of 'I hate school!!' I was at my wits end when a friend recommended Sonlight. We got Core D and slowly I noticed he wasn't upset at the mention of school time. By the time we finished the year, he was not complaining at all. A few years after we'd started Sonlight, he said, 'Mom, don't tell anyone, but I actually like school now. I kind of hate to have to stop for the weekends.' That was music to my ears. Here, middle son, Eli (5), gives a sprawling hug to his new Core A books. The D family is now in their fourth year of Sonlight.

"Sonlight's rich historical novels birthed a desire in Rebecca to one day write a book of her own," writes Beth W of Flowery Branch, GA. "At age 15, she wrote White Star, an historical fiction fantasy based on true events surrounding the Titanic. When she was 18, the book was published. 'I owe my passion for history and writing to Sonlight,' says Rebecca. 'During my impressionable middle school years, Sonlight exposed me to rich classics and thrilling novels that made history come alive. Thank you for inspiring me to create and write.'" Here, the young author, who studied with Sonlight from 5th through 10th grade,  proudly displays her work. Today, she promotes her book at signings and speaks to children about creative writing, the editing process and how she became published.
