"We chose Sonlight because reading living books is how I've always learned best! It wasn't a leap at all to teach this way," writes Catherine M of Leavenworth, KS. "As the mom in a military family, I love the consistency Sonlight provides. I never have to worry about missing anything due to a school change. Juliette (5) loves our time reading and learning together as well. The fact that Sonlight materials align with our values while teaching my child about the world is just the icing on the cake. I am so happy with my choice of Sonlight, and we can't wait to start Sonlight B." Here, Juliette (5) shares her official, end-of-year Kindergarten graduation photo.

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 so excited when I browsed my first Sonlight catalog and saw they included Handwriting Without Tears," writes Melissa N of Chittenango, NY. "I was already working with Handwriting Without Tears when our first Sonlight materials arrived and found integrating the Sonlight Language Arts for Grade K Readers program into what we were already doing an easy transition. Thank you Sonlight for recognizing that every child is different and for giving parents a variety of options to choose from!"
