When we started reading Core B+C as a family and our daughter began talking about characters at length, she understood the information because they were people and events, not just dates and moments in time. My husband and I are truck drivers and Olivia travels with us. We don't have access to libraries and I knew she would miss out on a lot of great books. We're currently finishing Core D and my daughter relates to the history of our nation as she sees historical locations around the country. I also LOVE the Instructor's Guides, though I don't feel pressured to do everything in them. Pictured with Australian Labradoodles Milo and Birch at a rest area, Olivia (9) has been traveling with Sonlight for two 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.  

The daily, intricate interaction between student and growing plants has absolutely exploded Leah's interest! She even made her own scale to weigh and chart the plant throughout its life cycle.The detail and depth of exploration is incredible – more than could ever be possible in a large class setting. She went on to dig a little vegetable garden in our backyard to plant her sprouts. They've been growing all summer as the unscripted learning continues! Here, Leah (10) weighs water-soaked bean seeds before being planted to see how much they've absorbed. In her first year of Sonlight study, she is using Core B+C and Science D.
