"After using Sonlight for just one year, I'm completely astonished how well my daughter reads," writes Jessie S of Deridder, LA. "Before we started using Sonlight, she absolutely loathed it. After using Core B with Grade 1 Readers, her reading skills took off and she now reads with amazing fluency. Reading has become enjoyable, and she actually offers to read to her younger siblings, much to their delight." Here, Journie (6) shares a good read with sister Piper (3) and brother Seeley (2).

"Due to health problems, my husband became a stay-at-home dad. Sonlight Instructor's Guides provided a detailed schedule, with questions, answers and resources for him to follow," writes Floriane S of Jacksonville, FL. "While reading about WWII, he enjoyed sharing family stories with our boys: how Grandma had to flee from the Russians in the middle of the night at age 5; how Great-Grandpa survived the German army and later served as a guard at the Nuremberg Trials. It has been a lot of heart work, and Sonlight has created some treasured male-bonding memories. Already planning our next year, Dad has added an extra section on how to be a man of God." Now sharing Core E, Samuel (10) and David (9) have been studying with Sonlight since the age of 3.

"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.
