What a blessing my Instructor's Guide is. I have complete confidence that I'm teaching what needs to be taught throughout the year. When people have asked me about homeschooling and how I know my children are learning what they need to, I've whipped out my IG and they've been blown away. Most comment that with a tool like that, they'd be able to homeschool too! Thanks to the confidence I get using an established program like Sonlight, my boys are thriving and my husband and I couldn't be happier! In their first year of homeschooling using the 4th Grade Full-Grade program, Brooks (2), Jase (7), and Carter (9) climb a tree with Dad to read a short story.

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.

Sonlight lessons are all planned out for me and they include all kinds of fun activities. This was our first year homeschooling. I've been terribly busy and sleep-deprived with a new baby and three young children. Using Sonlight's Science A program was the best decision I could have made. Although the program is laid out in a weekly schedule, I've found it easy to adjust according to our needs. Some weeks we do a bit each day. Other times we have a 'Science Day' and do a week's worth of lessons and activities all at once. I simply pick up where we left off. Here, Gideon (2), Miriam (5) and Tabitha (6) make "hot lava" while studying volcanoes.
