Sonlight is a perfect fit for our family. Each of us has a different learning style and it's really easy to tailor to each of the kids without any of us getting bored!. We can sit and read a few stories, and then get up and do activities that go along with them. Here, we were having a picnic, as recommended in the Instructor's Guide, after we read a chapter of the Milly-Molly-Mandy Story Book. It opened up some wonderful conversations about how even the food people ate was different a long time ago. We were using P4/5 at the time, and it made us fall in love with Sonlight. Ryleigh (5) and Toby (4) are in their second Sonlight year.

Sonlight motivated my family to step outside the box and experience learning naturally, as it occurs. For example, after reading How Flowers Grow in Core A, we have since enjoyed taking numerous nature walks. Recently, our three little people wanted to research the life cycle of rabbits. When they're grown, they may or may not remember how to calculate the circumference of a circle, but they will remember exploring nature, raising rabbits, nursing chicks and collecting eggs together. Sara Grace (7), Joseph (6) and Benjamin (5) are exploring Core B together in their second Sonlight year.

This summer my children have been saying 'Mom, can we start school? We are tired of only having playing to do. So we started Science B and the Read-Alouds from P4/5 early. They love listening together and can't wait to find out more about the subjects in the books. They ask many questions that I don't know the answers to so we look up and learn together. I love that they want to know more! Here, Grace (8) reads to Evelyn (5) and Levi (3). They're studying Core P4/5 and Core B in their third year of homeschooling and second year of Sonlight.
