"I was so excited when I browsed my first Sonlight catalog and saw they included Handwriting Without Tears," writes Melissa N of Chittenango, NY. "I was already working with Handwriting Without Tears when our first Sonlight materials arrived and found integrating the Sonlight Language Arts for Grade K Readers program into what we were already doing an easy transition. Thank you Sonlight for recognizing that every child is different and for giving parents a variety of options to choose from!" Here, Sawyer (5) and Coen (3) work with the Handwriting Without Tears manipulatives in their second year of Sonlight.

"After 13 years using Sonlight, Joanna C of the Solomon Islands writes: "Sonlight certainly equipped us with tools for success educating our children, the rich books we've shared, coupled with the time we've spent together as a family, have molded us into a strong team of diverse personalities. Sonlight's curriculum gives us the exibility we need to school with excellence in our remote village, yet we still have time to interact with the language group we serve. We also enjoy the familiarity and comfort of the school routine as we move back and forth from the village to the capital city."

"I'm heading off to college for the first time and can't help but feel a little jealous of my siblings, because they'll be doing Sonlight again this year," writes Kailey H of Marshfield, WI. "My family has loved learning so much since we started using Sonlight. History became my favorite subject, and I consumed all the books in each Core. I'm grateful for the in-depth Student Guides that forced me to think critically and caused me to formulate my own values. I feel well-prepared, and the thought of writing a college-level essay doesn't frighten me. I know I have the tools to be successful.
