The Instructor's Guide helps me to be prepared each day, with lessons that I'm confident of and interested in teaching. The Markable Maps and the History Timeline Figures have given me a big-picture view of world history and geography that I lacked after all my schooling, including college! The characters in the Read-Alouds feel like family and become part of our daily discussion, teaching and training. Hanna (4, P4/5 Multi-Subject), Claire (7, Core B) and Dad observe tadpoles scooped from a neighbor's pond on a rainy day.

I know that even at a very young age, my kids are getting an excellent, well-rounded education … just from listening to these wonderful stories! We love that Sonlight introduces us to books that we would have never known about. Before deploying to the Middle East this past spring, my husband wanted family portraits taken. The photographer asked us to bring props that show the essence of our family, and we knew we had to take one of our Sonlight books. Ava (5) and Delaney (4) are starting their second Sonlight year, with the P4/5 Multi-Subject Package. Here, they eagerly absorb Dad's rendition of Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales from P3/4. 

Sarita picks only the best of the best, and they captivate my children's attention. By the pond, at the playground or before bed – reading is fun, especially with Sonlight books! They're always asking me to read 'just one more.' Every now and then, big brother James will take a turn and read aloud to them. That's what I like about Sonlight: strong relationships are made stronger through reading together. James (13, Core F), Keturah and Elorah (6 and 5, P4/5 Multi-Subject) have been bonding together with Sonlight for four years.
