"Sonlight is all we use; we love the full grade option," writes Heather S of Nisland, SD. "I know that when we wrap up week 36 for the year, my kids have way surpassed what my state requires them to do for their school year! As a busy ranch wife and mom, I don't have the time or energy to research what books are best for my kiddos. I love all the work that Sonlight has done researching, updating and putting Instructor's Guides together for me. They boost my confidence and encourage me to be a better teacher than I thought I could be.

Kimberly F of Austin, TX writes: "When we started Sonlight four years ago, my children hated reading, so I was not sure this curriculum would be a good match for us. The change didn't happen overnight, but guess what? It happened! My kids now claim that reading with mom and dad doesn't even count as school. They say it is just fun."

"Today was our last Fun Tale," writes Mandy Y of Spokane Valley, WA. "At the start of the year, I didn't think we would get here. Parker (5, Language Arts K) struggled to learn to read, and I struggled to teach him. However, I knew Sonlight was a great curriculum, so we persevered. One day, it just clicked! Now, Parker reading his Fun Tales to me is one of my favorite times during our school week. Thank you, Sonlight, for making reading fun for both of us!"
