What a blessing my Instructor's Guide is. I have complete confidence that I'm teaching what needs to be taught throughout the year. When people have asked me about homeschooling and how I know my children are learning what they need to, I've whipped out my IG and they've been blown away. Most comment that with a tool like that, they'd be able to homeschool too! Thanks to the confidence I get using an established program like Sonlight, my boys are thriving and my husband and I couldn't be happier! In their first year of homeschooling using the 4th Grade Full-Grade program, Brooks (2), Jase (7), and Carter (9) climb a tree with Dad to read a short story.

Sonlight has instilled a love of learning and curiosity about God's world in our daughters. When Afton was in public school, she hated to read (and, that's an understatement!). It must have been the content because ever since schooling with Sonlight, she has a tremendous love for reading and a deep love for history. Through rich literature, our daughters are able to learn about historically significant events, people, and places in a fun and engaging way. Who am I kidding? I'm learning right alongside them! Here, Afton (14) and Anja (11) read their Core G books with Grandma and Grandpa … who love Sonlight books too!

This is my son Timothy, on our very first Box Day in 2010. The moment I opened the box and brought out the books, he started flipping through them and playing with the pattern blocks which came with his math set. We started school the very next day. We are now on our third year of home schooling, also our third with Sonlight, and the excitement of Box Day remains the same. (We are actually, as of this writing, awaiting our third core, Core B!) My son enjoys the books and activities, and I love seeing him having fun while learning. Even I have learned so much from Core A! More than once I've said, "This is fascinating! How come I wasn't fascinated like this when I was studying?"
