"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.

Reading these books brings history to life for the kids and they learn in an almost experiential way--by relating to the characters in the book. With the Read-Alouds all the kids get interested. All five kids, ages 5 to 13, will eagerly listen to the stories--and retain the knowledge! Heather loves that since great stories are at its core, Sonlight lends itself to all ages. She is using Cores B, F and H with her five children in their fifth year of Sonlight.

"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.
