"Using Sonlight really helps keep our homeschool days relaxed," says Jana M of Searcy, AR. "The Instructor's Guides are easy to use and allow us to move at our own pace. I especially love the detail in the IGs, allowing me to enrich my son's learning with more detail and biblical references. Visual aids like the Markable Map also make such a difference, since Kage is a visual learner." Here, Kage (6, First Grade ASP) labels the continents on his Markable Map.

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.
