Sonlight's Language Arts curriculum builds confidence in young readers. My oldest daughter began homeschooling in first grade after attending private school kindergarten. She wasn't a confident reader, but as she completed each I Can Read It book [from Grade 1 Readers] and the corresponding word lists, she began to believe that she really could read and her confidence grew. She not only wanted to read to me, but also to others. Thank you Sonlight for putting together a program that inspires confident readers. In her first year of homeschooling, Lizzie (7) reads to Evie (4) and baby Lucy. She's studying Core C with Grade 1 Readers. Brother Gus (9) is a second-year Sonlight student using Core C with Grade 3 Readers.

No one but Sonlight offered a curriculum that gave such a wonderful overview of the Eastern Hemisphere countries and cultures! The books helped our children understand what they would experience before we went to South Africa for two months. Reading 'A Journey to Jo'burg' aloud on the porch of our house outside Jo'burg [Johannesburg] had an incredibly powerful impact and helped all of us (parents included) understand the depth of apartheid and the healing South Africa is going through. And as their father continues to travel the world with his job, our five kids have a window into those faraway places through the wonderful books in Core F. Thirteen-year-old William got a big special kiss during his family's adventure. This was their first year of Sonlight.

I am thrilled that Sonlight has so many Biblical teaching tools available. Incorporating the Bible into our everyday routine was a must. I feel so blessed to have quality time with my children. Even our 20-month-old, Sophia, loves to listen to the Read-Alouds. Homeschooling with Sonlight has been a wonderful experience! In their first year of Sonlight, Chance (8) and Hunter (6) share Core C and Science C. Here, they soak up real-world learning as they examine caterpillars making cocoons.
