"Sonlight has been a lifesaver for us, especially being fairly new to homeschooling," writes Lori P of Surprise, AZ. "The complete lesson plans made it  so easy to put together the year with Lily's History/Bible/Literature program, along with the ability to match her Language Arts to her level. We were able to build her entire curriculum by adding in Math and Science, which she loves to do outside with Finn by her side. Thank you Sonlight!" Here, Lily (9) works on her math as she enjoys the beautiful weather and the freedom to work in a relaxed environment, shoes off!

We wish we knew about Sonlight's literature-based approach, and the convenience and flexibility of your IGs [Instructor's Guides] earlier. We live in Vietnam, where it's difficult to get good books for children in English. The fact that Sonlight provides all the book we need for a year is such a privilege. I had struggled with finding resources for my eldest with auditory processing disorders. With the amount of reading, he has shown remarkable progresses in attention and reading comprehension. Your well-selected books offer renewed inspiration and creative ideas each day, which is especially important when you homeschool a special-needs child. Ted (4, P4/5 Multi-Subject), Tom and Amy (9 and 7, Cores A and B) are reading about fishermen at a beach near their home.

"Sonlight offers many options for Math programs, so we can find what each child needs and set him or her up for success!" writes Jennifer W. "Before we used Teaching Textbooks, Math was a bore to Vashti as she labored through each lesson. She likes the friendly manner of the teacher, and how he makes her least favorite subject more interesting. Teaching Textbooks also helps Vashti retain more information because she can listen to parts of the lecture that she needs to hear again, as many times as she needs. Viewing the solution to missed problems is a great tool to find out where mistakes were made." In her seventh year of Sonlight, 13-year-old Vashti is using Core H and Teaching Textbooks Pre-Algebra.
