"I love that all my kids can enjoy learning history together (HBL E), and that Sonlight provides age-appropriate workbooks for various topics, allowing the older ones to help the younger ones," writes Lam B who is serving in East Asia. "My son, Joshua (7), liked the activities in Explode the Code so much, he did four lessons in one sitting when I first gave him the book. My older two kids, Caden (11) and Karina (10), are excited about their Wordly Wise books." Here, the B children settle down from trampoline jumping to do some Explode the Code! The B family has been Sonlighting for three years.

"Thanks to Sonlight our daughters have developed a keen interest in stories and poems," writes Mariska W of Malawi. "We have a precious, daily bedtime routine in which we snuggle together in our cozy reading corner for some bedtime stories and Naomi and Abigail choose a poem to recite." Here, Naomi (4) eagerly works on Developing the Early Learner from Sonlight's Pre-Kindergarten program.

The Teacher's Guides and the well-chosen classical books are the key to Sonlight's success. I also love how they recommended other resources, like Explode the Code and Handwriting Without Tears, which work hand-in-hand with the curriculum. With Sonlight, I'm able to work with my kids on a daily basis on a continuum of excellent learning. I see my children's world expanding and it makes me excited to be their teacher. For the first time, I feel confident and comfortable with my decision to home educate. My kids finally enjoy homeschooling and I absolutely love teaching. In their third Sonlight year, John-Paul and Emelie (9 and 8, Core B+C) take their Math outdoors.
