Thank you, Sonlight, for providing a rich and gentle introduction to learning through literature. Sonlight allowed me to teach my older daughters while meeting my new baby's needs with tender flexibility. That same flexibility led us to read on blankets in the yard, curled up by the fire with cups of cocoa or even in our red wagon. Reading together has provided so many cozy moments for our growing family, stirred our imaginations, shaped our character and invited us into a culture of shared stories we'll never forget. Elise (7) and Sadie (5) are studying Core B, as Raina (3) and Hope (11 mos.) come along for the ride on the first-year Sonlight adventure.

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.

We love Sonlight's Language Arts K program! It is more than just writing letters. It incorporates different hands-on activities as well as critical thinking exercises that have opened a new world for my daughter. She has come to love writing, learning about sentence structure, vowels and consonants, and pushing her writing creativity to new levels when creating her stories. Isabella's reading has also grown throughout the year as she started with book one of Fun Tales and moved through the entire series. In her second year of Sonlight, 5-year-old Isabella has fun with the vowel activity worksheets in Language Arts K. Here, she cuts and pastes the letters to see what words she can create next.
