In her sixth year of Sonlight, Helen C of Riverside, CA writes: "The kids love to read, and they love to read in creative and comfortable places. Sonlight encourages our kids to really become a part of the stories and sparks their imaginations. The stories are so intriguing they compete with other fun activities [such as jumping on the trampoline]!" Here, Joey (12), Sarah (11), Jacob (10) and Ellie (15) read from their work in Sonlight G, D and 200.

"Our doctor asked us once what we use for curriculum because he was impressed with our children's knowledge and social skills. Using Sonlight allows for enjoyable independent learning that allows our children to grow and flourish in their quest for knowledge." The W family of Lancaster, OH has used Sonlight for the past 12 years. Esther (15, Church History 200), Eli (13, American History 100), Evelyn (7, HBL A), and Eleanor (4, Preschool) enjoy doing much of their homeschooling on the front porch.

"I love homeschooling because my daughter Sydney is free to learn at her pace, alongside her three siblings, with those things (chickens) that make her feel at peace," writes Ruthe F of Lutz, FL. "I love Sonlight because of the structure and peace of mind it provides the teacher." The F family has homeschooled for the past 10 years, all of them with Sonlight. In this photo, Sydney (16, Sonlight 200) reads The Hawk and the Dove from Classic Literature 230 with her favorite pet and constant companion, Mango.
