Sonlight motivated my family to step outside the box and experience learning naturally, as it occurs. For example, after reading How Flowers Grow in Core A, we have since enjoyed taking numerous nature walks. Recently, our three little people wanted to research the life cycle of rabbits. When they're grown, they may or may not remember how to calculate the circumference of a circle, but they will remember exploring nature, raising rabbits, nursing chicks and collecting eggs together. Sara Grace (7), Joseph (6) and Benjamin (5) are exploring Core B together in their second 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.

After having used Sonlight for Kindergarten through 12th grade, my son is a critical thinker and can have an intelligent conversation with anyone (even with others whose beliefs don't line up with his)," writes Barbara W of Red Oak, TX. "He knows what he believes and WHY! (Thank you Sonlight!) I'm thankful that my son used Sonlight's Understanding the Times curriculum in high school, and was able to learn and study different worldviews. We also used Sonlight's logic books, and he is very good at detecting baloney! Results? He received a full scholarship from a large university. Here, 19-yearold Dustin poses for a Senior picture. He's used Sonlight Cores A through 530 in his twelve years of Sonlight.
