Sonlight isn't a method or formula; it's a way of life, and a meaningful, colorful, memorable way at that. We always planned to homeschool and we value quality time with our children above all. Little did we know there was a curriculum that combined both! Thanks to Sonlight, reading is the heart of education in our home. The time spent together is icing on the cake. A friend who recently received her first Sonlight catalog in the mail asked, 'Could it be that easy?' Yes. Thanks, for helping me plan my days and for prompting me to do the important things, the things we will always cherish. In the family's third Sonlight year, Dad, Micah (6), Allison (4), and Noah (2) share a Core B Read-Aloud before bedtime.

"Sonlight has helped my girls become self-starters!" writes Erin H of Franklin, TN. "They begin the day excited to pull out my Instructors Guide, Bible and Read-Alouds, and even more excited to check things off when we complete a task. Many times, Abigail (9, HBL B with LA 3 and Science B) was the one pulling out our books for History / Bible / Literature so we could begin our day. She loved the schedule and the ability to look at her own tasks and move forward if I was helping one of her sisters. She didn't need to wait on me!" Here, Abigail, Amelia (2, Pre-K), and Ansleigh (6, HBL B with LA 1 and Science B) have already begun a day's work on their own.

"Everyone looks forward to math time in our house thanks to Sonlight!" writes Sarah Z of Clarkston, GA. "The Math-U-See blocks make it seem more like playing than school work. Orion (7, Math-U-See Primer and HBL A) often talks about Decimal Street while playing with his sisters. The word problems are so creative, we often get caught up in the story! I love that Math-U-See teaches facts in a simple, straightforward way. Even I can follow along!" Pictured, Orion does his math work while Emma (4) plays with the manipulatives.
