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.

"We discovered Sonlight this year, after a friend recommended it to us, and can't believe the difference it has made. We particularly appreciate how Sonlight makes it possible for various ages to learn together. We have watched our children's relationships blossom and grow as we concentrate less on finding resources and more on enjoying quality time together as a family.  This is what homeschooling is supposed to be!  Here, Alexander (9) beats the heat and enjoys a good book from Core G." – Denise A, Cambodia

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.
