Sonlight's K program shares the stories of key events and important people in American History. This is going to be a great year. You can do this. Whether you plan to just test homeschooling out, or are hoping to homeschool for years, starting in Kindergarten is a great choice.

Start with the History / Bible / Literature program of your choice and add additional subjects. History / Bible / Literature programs can be used with multiple children. All History / Bible / Literature programs include a 15% discount off of retail.
Kindergarten All-Subjects Package
All-Subjects Packages offer the convenience of an all-in-one boxed curriculum but provide the flexibility of customization for your specific needs or multiple children. And you get all that for a 20% discount!
Additional Kindergarten Subjects
A Sonlight All-Subjects Package comes with everything that you need for a complete school year. However, if you chose to purchase a History / Bible / Literature program only, you may want to add additional subjects to complete your year.
The transition to a more formal education doesn't have to be overwhelming. With Sonlight's literature-based kindergarten homeschool curriculum and easy to use schedules, you are setting yourself up for a great Kindergarten year.


Science
From the heat of the sun to the eyes of an insect, Sonlight Science K teaches your children to think like a scientist.
They will use real scientific skills and practices as they explore rainforests and encounter reptiles, insects, plants and more. Science K builds on children's natural curiosity. It also includes a high-level introduction to forces, matter, and other STEM topics that will set them up for a lifetime of learning and application.
Every week, your students will engage in an experiment directly tied to the rest of the content you study that week. Literature provides the context, while the experiments allow your children to experience the scientific process for themselves.
Choose the matching Kindergarten Science level (Science K) or browse other available Science programs and see what you could discover.


Math
In Kindergarten math your child will learn not only how to write numerals but also addition and subtraction, basic counting, skip counting, geometric shapes, telling time, and they will be introduced to the manipulative block system in the Kindergarten Math curriculum. It's a gentle introduction to "doing math."
Math-U-See Primer is included in Sonlight's Kindergarten All-Subjects Package, but you can customize as desired.


Language Arts
Sonlight's early Language Arts programs include a phonics foundation. You will also find basic phonics for spelling rules in our language arts Instructor's Guide.
In Kindergarten, you will teach your children the alphabet and letter sounds. You will also serve as their scribe as they begin to practice creative writing by dictating their thoughts to you. With all the amazing books you will read together, your children will have plenty of opportunity to imitate good writing during weekly copywork exercises. Watch the world written communication begin to open to your children.
Spelling & Vocabulary
Spelling and Vocabulary is already built into your lesson plans at this level. Spelling and vocabulary words are from the reading you share with your students. This makes practice a natural addition to your homeschool day. We do offer additional resources as desired.


Handwriting
Sonlight has a gentle approach to Language Arts, and this Kindergarten year we start with Handwriting. Sonlight offers all of the top handwriting programs, so your children can get a solid foundation of letter formation right from the start. We want handwriting to develop well from the start in preparation for writing as your children grow.
We include Handwriting Without Tears in our All-Subjects Package because it is designed to eliminate problems with reversals, spacing, placement, and letter and numeral formation. But, you are able to customize your package and choose the handwriting program of your choice and still enjoy our best discount of 20% off.
