"Sonlight has chosen some very special books that have uniquely shaped our lives," writes Christy W. "My kids still love books from their first Core. Their favorite of all time is Things People Do. They must have read it a hundred times! This past year, our favorite was Red Sails to Capri. Although we read it at bedtime, we never got sleepy. In fact, we laughed so loudly that Dad came in to see why we were making so much noise! I treasure each day, as we make lifelong memories together." Jessica (9) and Kylie (7) are reading their way through Core D in the family's fifth year of Sonlight.

There isn't another curriculum on the market that compares to Sonlight. After years of using so many different types of curriculum and being frustrated and confused, a friend finally turned us on to Sonlight. What a difference it has made for us! Our children, who didn't like to read, suddenly couldn't wait to read. Sonlight brings together just the right amount of history, literature and writing exercises and bundles it with an incredible schedule packed with everything you need to teach your children. I've always worried about my ability to teach my children without a teaching degree. Thank you Sonlight for lightening that burden. Everything I need is right at my fingertips. In their third year of Sonlight, Jennifer (17) reads to Jacob (13) and Jillian (12) from Core W. 

"The thought-provoking questions and discussion ideas from the Instructors' Guides make the books we read so much more meaningful and memorable," writes Anne W of Zimbabwe. "It is clear that many years of experience and expertise have gone into making such a well-rounded and interesting course. We love Sonlight for the books, the discussion questions and the well-planned daily schedule. Thank you Sonlight for an outstanding curriculum that's easy to use and enjoyable for all of us."
