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!

Sonlight's diverse and exceptional books have brought many far-off places right into our home, causing my daughter's imagination and creativity to come alive. I thought history was boring, until we started Sonlight; now it's our favorite subject. Using Sonlight makes us want to go out and explore the world. The books paint such a clear picture in our minds that everywhere we go becomes an educational experience. Plus, the Instructor's Guides are easy to follow, giving us more time for field trips and to just enjoy learning together. In her fifth Sonlight year, Valerie (7, Core B) likes to dress up when inspired by a favorite book.

Sonlight gives my children a love for learning, and if they love learning, they can succeed in whatever they decide to do in life. Great books make History and Science come alive. Through reading, their vocabulary grows and they learn proper grammar and writing. It's exciting to see them seek out more information on a subject, and for fun, reenact what they're learning. Cameron (11) and Jackson (9), in their third year of Sonlight adventures, are exploring Core F.
