Sonlight's grab-and-go Instructor's Guide makes it possible for us to homeschool. We live on a cattle ranch and homestead (produce much of our own food), so I wouldn't have time to design a curriculum. Sonlight has brought the world into our house. I love that my kids embrace diversity as a direct result of exposure to Sonlight books. They regularly impress people with the depth of their knowledge. They want to be explorers and adventurers, just like the ones we read about. On this day, Dalton (5, Core A) and Maddy (3, P3/4 Multi-Subject) explore the creek.

"When I opened my first box of Sonlight, there was a slight moment of panic ... until I opened the Instructor's Guide," writes Lorelei K of The Woodlands, TX. "The IG laid out our first day of homeschool. Neatly outlined and with helpful suggestions along the way, the IG sat beside me like an old friend helping me on my journey. Two years and thousands of memories later, we love Sonlight!" Here, Christopher (9, Sonlight C) eagerly reads ahead in McBroom's Wonderful One-Acre Farm.

I prayed for a curriculum that was God-centered, economical and mom-friendly. Sonlight has given me the ability to teach my five children. Even in our busy and sometimes-chaotic days, we're always able to find a moment to share an inspirational story and bond as a family. My children get up in the morning excited about their schoolwork and have a passion for learning that's contageous. I love that I can just open a binder [Instructor's Guide] and I know what we have to do. God cares about the education of my children and has used Sonlight to achieve this. Now in their third Sonlight year, Faith (4), Tamar (6) and Natalie (6), pictured with visiting cousins, were studying Core B at the time of this outing.
