I'm so thankful for Sonlight's Language Arts guidance. We kept plugging away and I took faith in the tips and pointers (and Ruth Beechick's book). I won't forget the week everything seemed to brighten and I wasn't 'making' Zeke read anymore. He now says reading is his favorite! Here, Zeke (7, Core C) and Amelia (4, Pre-Kindergarten Multi-Subject) think little sister Isabella's hair looks like Ping from Little Pear [Core B].

"Read-Aloud time has become an anchor for family life in our home. Taking time each day to read together has a way of centering our relationships. When we began learning with Sonlight, I was skeptical that my 6-year-old would sit and listen to an entire Bible passage, History lesson or Read-Aloud chapter, as his attention span is short. But Sonlight's books are so well-chosen that he's captivated from start to finish. He surprises me by recounting events from our reading with amazing detail, even recreating scenes for imaginary play. In their second year of Sonlight, Noah (7) and Elijah (9) enjoy The Adventures of Sir Lancelot the Great, their favorite Core C adventure.

"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.
