I have a friend who uses another curriculum, and she is always stressed out about time. Sonlight is different. I feel free to teach my children using their learning styles and my teaching style. The Instructor's Guides are great – I know exactly what to do each day. We can take time off if needed for spontaneity or vacation or whatever. The single BEST thing about Sonlight is all the wonderful books. Here, superhero Maximus (6) reads his morning devotions.

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. 

"After using Sonlight for just one year, I'm completely astonished how well my daughter reads," writes Jessie S of Deridder, LA. "Before we started using Sonlight, she absolutely loathed it. After using Core B with Grade 1 Readers, her reading skills took off and she now reads with amazing fluency. Reading has become enjoyable, and she actually offers to read to her younger siblings, much to their delight." Here, Journie (6) shares a good read with sister Piper (3) and brother Seeley (2).
