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.

"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.

Handwriting Without Tears is a fabulous program. I have been amazed how much more confident my daughter is at writing within two short months. Not only did her handwriting improve but she grasped letters and numbers so much better! It is so well structured that your child learns so much in just a few short lessons. Isabella loves the colorful and fun workbook as well as the hands-on activities that come with it, such as the chalkboard and wood blocks. Four-year-old Isabella proudly displays her handiwork from the Handwriting Without Tears Package K (#HWK).
