Five reasons why a Sonlight History / Bible / Literature program may be the best purchase you make all year...

Sonlight Curriculum seeks to offer a complete educational experience, not "just books." So everything we do to enhance your homeschool success is built into each History / Bible / Literature curriculum package— schedules and plans (year-to-year as well as week-to-week), supplies, community, and more.

When you purchase one of our packages, we are convinced you get one of the very best deals available anywhere in the world when it comes to homeschool materials. There are several great reasons why we believe you get more value when you buy a Sonlight program...the first is:

This year, Sonlight's Love to Learn, Love to Teach^TM Guarantee is unmatched by any homeschool curriculum provider. Buy any History / Bible / Literature or All-Subjects Package and you get to use these programs for 18 weeks—a full half of a school year. If after that time you are not convinced Sonlight is truly great...for your kids and you—return it, used books and all, and get your money back. Every penny you paid us.

You enjoy the program more...even while you evaluate it.

Because we offer you our Half-Year, Risk-Free Love to Learn, Love to Teach^TM Guarantee, we know you will evaluate our programs—and the materials within them—differently than you would if we merely sold you books. As you may know, when you buy individual books (from us or our competitors) and decide to return them, there is a strict condition:

You have to treat the books like fragile eggs. Take special care as you crack open the cover: make sure you don't bend it too far or dog-ear the corners. You live in fear that one of the kids might spill something, or the baby may try teething on it.

As a Sonlight curriculum purchaser, you experience none of these worries or fears.

You get to test the program as it was meant to be used. You read your books like any book owner: open wide, bookmarks in place, pages turned down—the same way you would read any other book you own.

You let your kids study and enjoy them, too... without fear. They can take the books to bed, read them in the tree house or the bathroom: you'll be glad to see your kids enjoy the books so much. You won't cringe in dread that one of the books will become non-resalable...and, thus, non-returnable.

Think about it. If you are evaluating an individual title, on its own, you're likely, first, to skip it entirely if it is of a literary genre that doesn't normally appeal to you.

If it's part of a complete curriculum, however, while you may first "look sideways" at it, you will likely try it to see if, just maybe, it holds more value than you would normally expect.

We design Sonlight's History / Bible / Literature programs purposefully to include:

A wide variety of literary genres

Based on what we hear every year, you may surprise yourself and find—as others have before you: "I have never read a [fantasy/science fiction/poetry/____] book before! I'm astonished at how lovely _____ is!" The point is this: If you purchase a History / Bible / Literature program from Sonlight, you and your children are likely to read more widely than if you choose all the books individually, on your own—because we've made those tough choices for you.

Yes, you have our list here in the catalog. But if you are prone to purchase book-by-book, let's be honest: you will either leave those non-intuitive books alone or you will make the choice only after prolonged and agonizing mental struggle.

In truth, some customers are thrilled with absolutely every book we include. Very, very few find more than one or two that they don't love.

So why not save yourself the headache? Make one decision: "I'll buy the Sonlight program."—And give your kids a broader, fuller education.

Some books that will challenge and others that will soothe

Some customers feel that they should eliminate any Readers that don't push their children at every turn.

We've taken a different tack.

On the one hand, we say, education can't be all sunshine and cotton candy. Sometimes it requires real discipline and hard work. On the other, after your students have slogged through a more difficult title, we think they should get a breather: an excellent title that will challenge or feed them emotionally, perhaps, but that they can breeze through at an easy clip.

Fact: You and your children would almost certainly enjoy most of the books you hand-pick from our catalog. However, carefully built into every program, you'll find books with a range of reading difficulties.

We believe—based on comments we receive from customers just like you—that if you purchase a complete curriculum, you're more likely to help your child persevere through the more difficult times...because you will recognize the book as part of a whole, and you will recognize that the package as a whole was designed to provide a variety of experiences.

10% Discount on all your homeschool needs for a full year. That's ten percent off not just the relatively inexpensive paperback novels you can get from the big-box stores or online book merchants, but the expensive stuff you can't find there: your science, math and language arts texts, science supplies, art supplies... and more. All year long. Your savings will add up fast. Your All-Subjects Package comes with a built-in 20% discount and your History / Bible / Literature program is discounted 15%!

Plus Additional Perks SonlightCares^TM customers will enjoy access to exclusive sales, early access to events and sales, plus special additional discounts throughout the year.

Since 2000, Sonlight Curriculum has awarded 13 college scholarships yearly to students whose families have purchased and used at least five Sonlight programs.

If you want your son or daughter to participate in the competition, now is the time to begin building eligibility!

Your budget is likely not unlimited, so Sonlight works to stretch it for you. We use some books in more than one program, for instance, In the later programs, that book is available separately as a "Required Resource," in order to prevent unwanted duplication.

But what if other books are already on your shelves? Well, that's probably because they have some value to you. Is the cost (at 15% discount) greater than the total discount you will lose on all—all!—the other items you will want to purchase in the coming year, including Math, Language Arts, and so forth? If not, then buying the package still saves you money (plus you have spare copies of books you know you enjoy). Even if that value is greater...Wouldn't a few duplicate books (at discounted prices) make great year-round gifts? Just one great way a lot of Sonlighters use those occasional extras. The savings, ease and convenience of using a History / Bible / Literature program makes it more than worth it.
