Thanks to Sonlight's training, my daughter Rachel is in the habit of integrating everything she learns into the 'big picture' of time and place. Before she can read anything, she looks at her timeline to understand where the story takes place in the context of history. She'll also find the story's location on the map. She loves to peruse The Timeline Book [RR120] from beginning to end. I feel she has a great grasp on the big picture. In her fourth year of Sonlight, Rachel (7) uses Google to locate where Little Pear (from Core B) took place.

"We are so grateful for Sonlight as we spend this school year on three different continents," says Stefanie K of Kitchener, ON. "It enables us to serve God in church planting and still give our kids a well-rounded, Christ-centered education. I'm always surprised by requests for 'just one more chapter!'" In this picture, John (9), David (7), Timothy (6), Hannah (3) and Lukas (2) travel back in time with their copy of The Usborne Time Traveler while standing in a Medieval castle in Germany. The K's have been Sonlighting for six years.

"As a busy mom, I love the Sonlight Instructor's Guides, writes Megan K of Waco, TX. "It's so nice to have questions at my fingertips that I can ask my kids about what we're reading. I also love the included definitions and explanations for unfamiliar words or ideas. Sonlight has been a fabulous curriculum choice!" Megan and her husband cherish the opportunity to read with their children. Each evening before bed, Ava (6), Adelyn (4) and Talmage (2) soak up quality time with Dad as he reads out loud.
