"I was so excited when I browsed my first Sonlight catalog and saw they included Handwriting Without Tears," writes Melissa N of Chittenango, NY. "I was already working with Handwriting Without Tears when our first Sonlight materials arrived and found integrating the Sonlight Language Arts for Grade K Readers program into what we were already doing an easy transition. Thank you Sonlight for recognizing that every child is different and for giving parents a variety of options to choose from!" Here, Sawyer (5) and Coen (3) work with the Handwriting Without Tears manipulatives in their second year of Sonlight.

Caroline S of Marysville, WA, writes: "We love that with Sonlight, we have the security of knowing our son is receiving a rich, well-rounded educational experience that is also fun! He has grown exponentially in his love for reading this year, and we believe it's partly because of the excellent selection of stories Sonlight offers in both their Readers and Read-Alouds. Not to mention our son is receiving a rich dose of history and culture in each adventurous, heartfelt narrative! Our whole family is happy with the Sonlight program, and we cannot wait to continue with it again next year!"

Your curriculum has opened our eyes to the world and broadened our compassion for those in other cultures. The writing projects have been an excellent tool to start discussions about life with our children. Thank you for helping us instill the 'love to learn' mentality in our children! Here, Nathan (13) and Alan (15) tell friends Katelyn (15) and Jennifer (13) about the books they read this past year. The boys generated so much enthusiasm for the Core that Katelyn (who is using Core 300) told her parents she wants to read their Core 100 books even though they're not part of her assigned reading. The S family is using Core 100 in their eighth year of Sonlight, as their friends use Cores H and 300 in their third year of Sonlight.
