"Our 8-year-old son didn't like Language Arts, but since we discovered Sonlight we have seen a great change in his attitude toward reading and writing," writes Ana P of Naples, FL. "He loves reading the Sonlight books, especially The Beginner's Bible. He likes it so much that he reads it not only for his Language Arts class but also every night before he goes to sleep. It's wonderful to see my son not only improving in reading comprehension and writing but also to see that he is doing it using the word of God." Matt (8) particularly enjoys when he can do his reading up in a tree.

Michelle M of Louisville, KY writes: "As a former private school teacher, I like how Sonlight's lessons are laid out for you. It saves so much time! I hoped to put together my own curriculum before having children but the amount of time and energy it takes to research and explore the subjects won't allow me to now. Finding Sonlight was a relief because they have already put the time and energy into the research. Now, I am freed up to engage my children and teach them!" Here, Michelle's youngest, Oak (5) celebrates the freedom of homeschooling by practicing his handwriting in full costume.
Sonlight's Language Arts programs are so versatile. This year is the third time through Language Arts 1 for our family, and I have been able to tailor the program to meet the needs of each individual child. If one child needs more work with a certain concept, there are plenty of extra activities in the Instructor's Guide that I can choose from to reinforce that concept. But if they catch on quickly, I have the option of leaving out the extra activities. We also love Sonlight's choices for Readers. The books in Language Arts 1 are familiar favorites that the little ones often pull off the shelf for Mommy to read. Here, Katie (7) reads to Mom as Meghan (3) and Karson (2) eagerly join in for the story.

Joy H of Lehigh Acres, FL writes: "We started Sonlight after trying a workbook type curriculum that was leaving us all frustrated. Sonlight's Readers and Read-Alouds capture the Graham's attention despite his ADHD diagnosis. When prompted to write a paragraph about a favorite character or book, he has a difficult time choosing just one!" Here, Graham (9) and his dad enjoy a funny poem from Cornstalks in Sonlight C. Now that he likes his homeschool, Graham particularly looks forward to this book every week.

"The Sonlight Language Arts program is exceptional," writes Erin J of Alberta, Canada. "Cayleigh (7) went from not being able to read a word at the start of 1st grade, to being able to read anything at the end of it. It's an amazing curriculum. Cayleigh now devours every book she can get her hands on. The emphasis on reading and the sheer variety of books has sparked a love of the written word in all my children, who I now find bringing books to church, friends' houses, and even the playground!" Here, Caden (9), Cayleigh (7), Liana (6), Josiah (4), look at their Sonlight books while Samara and Sofia (2) sit in.
