"When we decided to homeschool, I knew I wanted to instill a love of reading in our children, so I sought out literature-based curriculum," writes Christina K of Fort Leonard Wood, MO. "Sonlight provided the most materials, the best library, and the easiest lesson plans. When I saw the quantity and quality included, Sonlight became an easy decision. One of my other criteria in curricula is to have lesson plans laid out for me so I can just 'open and teach.' The Instructor's Guides have met that need incredibly well. I'd highly recommend Sonlight to any of my fellow homeschoolers."

"One of my favorite things about Sonlight is being able to go at our own pace," writes Kathleen M of Buhl, ID. "The Instructor's Guide (IG) makes it easy to keep track of where you are, what you've done, and what you have left to do. There is space to write the dates we plan to do the assignments which makes it easy to set or change goals. Plus, there are notes to the parents to further explain sensitive subjects so I can be prepared to address them in a personal way." Kathleen's husband, Paul, bonds with their sons David (6), Harold (4), Adam (2), while reading books from HBL A and HBL E together.

"Sonlight makes it easy to wake up and homeschool. They do all of the prep work for me. As much as I'd love to spend hours thinking about how I'll teach my kids, it doesn't often happen. I'm their Mom, too, and wife to my husband. I have other responsibilities and I want to do all of these well. I love the book choices, and how Sonlight suggests how many pages a day to read. It's so simple!" In the summer before their sixth Sonlight year, the family went on a mission trip to Uganda. This year, Joy (16) will study Level 500, while Ayden (14), Effy (12) and Jayken (10) study Level W together. – Melissa W of Brownwood, TX
