"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).

Sonlight has kept its promise to give my children a love of reading. I'm building my home around your Cores. The six-, four- and two-year-old love to listen and sing along to songs about the United States. History is my daughter's favorite. She's usually reading 3–4 books at the same time, which she keeps in different locations around the house.On this day, a lake trip was cancelled due to rain. Without even taking off their suits, they climbed on the couch and got lost in their books. Grace (9), Bryce (6) and Reece (4) are immersed in Core E, and Readers Grade 4–5 and Grade 2 in the family's fifth year with Sonlight.

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.
