Sonlight has made it so easy to work with our schedule, which includes working around Dad's schedule. I love that we can take school with us and have quality family time, no matter when or where that happens to be. Choosing Sonlight as our curriculum has been one of the the best choices we've made. Everything is laid out for us in the fabulous Instructor Guides, which are so easy to follow. I love the literature-based learning and Sonlight Readers are a huge hit with my kids. On this gorgeous evening, they don't even mind reading on the boat. In the family's second Sonlight year, Noah (7), Carsyn (3) and Taylor (9) are finishing up Cores B and D.

For our first year of homeschooling, I couldn't have asked for an easier-to-follow Instructor's Guide. To see the love of books through my children's eyes is amazing! When they're finished with their schoolwork, they even choose reading for their fun activities. Sparked with an interested for the homeless after reading George Muller in our Read-Alouds, Abby collected 144 blankets. The encouragement that book gave her for this mission is one we could've never taught on our own. Here Abby (7, Core B+C) shows her goal checklist and the blankets she collected during her first year of Sonlight living and giving.

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!
