Sonlight's instructor guide's give us the extra time to relax and read together.   I'm glad I chose sonlight for my 3rd grader's first year.  This year I will supplement it with another grammar  program.  And will use a different science & math for my 4th grader.  But Will continue to use Sonlights literature & history.  However, I was not happy with the Sonlight K readers & phonics program.  I found it more appropriate for a preschool program than Kindergarten.  My son learned the alphabet sounds but the program lacked strenght in teaching words & blends.  Thanks Sonlight for all your amazing curriculum!

I can trust Sonlight to have interesting, challenging, Christ-centered materials that are always just right for Elizabeth's academic level. My husband and I are so thankful for the flexibility a Sonlight education offers. We can have school anywhere, anytime! As a working mother, my time is often short. I'm so grateful that I can open my Sonlight [Instructor's Guide] binder and have my little girl's education all planned out. Like most Sonlight families, Box Day is one of the most exciting days in our year! The joy on Elizabeth's (6) face is apparent as she hugs her Core C materials in preparation for her third Sonlight year.

Having the Instructor's Guide proved to be a tremendous blessing when Mom's health suddenly became worse. We decided to share the instructing with our 12-year-old-daughter. She would read the Read-Alouds, instruct in Handwriting and Math, and complete Science A. Mom would read the Bible and History and cover Language Arts. Following the IG proved extremely helpful during this period. We discovered that even if you can't stick to the schedule perfectly, the help of having a schedule you don't have to create yourself is a blessing. Havilah (15, Core 200), Cosette and Anakin (13 and 11, Core F), Tirian and Aravis (8 and 6, Core A), Liesl (4) and Adelina (2) share an Under the Sea adventure during their annual at-the-beach vacation.
