"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.

With Sonlight, history comes alive! It is not just memorizing and spitting out facts and dates. When our children were enrolled in a private school before we brought them home, they were doing lots of worksheets and 'busy work.' History was chapter after chapter of facts and dates to recite. With Sonlight, history comes alive with stories about real places and people and their adventures. Thank you. In their fourth year of Sonlight, Andrew (15, Core 100), Elizabeth (13, Core 100) and Paul (9, Core D) use their Sonlight Science to research how to make a suitable habitat for the box turtles they found in their yard.

"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.
