"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.

"Sonlight helps us instill a biblical worldview and teach our children how to think through what they believe," writes Nicholas D, Green Bay, WI.  "It's fun to see God bring up lessons we're learning through our books at other times during the day. We appreciate the study of world cultures and the focus on sharing God's love with all people. Reading together prompts fascinating discussions and encourages us to ask questions. Sonlight truly inspires a lifestyle of learning and makes it easy for us to learn together as a family. Here, nobody wants to miss out on Read-Aloud time, even if they've heard the story before! Kalysta (5) and Tryana (6) are using Core A, Myranda (9) Core E and Alyssa (12) Core H in the family's eighth Sonlight year.

"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.
