We have seen the truth of Sonlight's claim that children learn history better when they learn it in the form of a story. Because of Sonlight's Readers and Read-Alouds, our kids have a better grasp and wider knowledge base of historical events at the end of middle school than their parents did at the end of college (due to our [non-Sonlight] textbook-style memorization of facts – facts that were soon forgotten or muddled because they weren't part of a story). Vashti (14) mentioned that some of her friends hate studying history. She said, 'If only they could learn history the Sonlight way, they'd love it like I do!' In her eigthth year of Sonlight, Vashti devours a biography from Core H that brings the Iron Curtain era to life.

"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

They have the BEST books, an amazing Instructor's Guide [IG] that walks you through every day, the greatest customer service I've ever encountered, and best of all, my kids are loving life each day. Having the IG makes life easy; we know what to do and our days run smoothly. As a homeschooling mom, I can't imagine my life without Sonlight. The boys have soared in their studies with the amazing books Sonlight has chosen for each Core. Our family is happy, healthy and thriving, and I know I have Sonlight to thank for that! Blaze (9, Core B+C) has been soaring with Sonlight for three years.
