I'm so thankful for Sonlight's Language Arts guidance. We kept plugging away and I took faith in the tips and pointers (and Ruth Beechick's book). I won't forget the week everything seemed to brighten and I wasn't 'making' Zeke read anymore. He now says reading is his favorite! Here, Zeke (7, Core C) and Amelia (4, Pre-Kindergarten Multi-Subject) think little sister Isabella's hair looks like Ping from Little Pear [Core B].

"Though diagnosed with a rare thyroid disease in the middle of the school year, Zoe learned to read full chapter books because of the way Sonlight instills a deep love of learning through incredible literature. The difficulty she went through was tough because she previously learned everything at high speed. Thankfully, we've been using Sonlight since kindergarten, and that has proven to be a successful choice. She never stopped loving to learn and was so excited to have read her first chapter book, Pippi Longstocking. Thanks for making it easy on families when life gets hard." Zoe (7) loves the Sonlight C story selections. –  Athena M of Fairbanks, AK

The selection of Sonlight books we receive with our Core each year brings a passion to my life that overflows in my teaching and enriches each one of our lives. Not only does Sonlight introduce incredible, captivating and truly inspiring books to my children, but to my husband and me, as well. With all the curriculum choices available, I can understand that Sonlight may not be a fit for every family. However, I'm extremely grateful that Sonlight is a fit for the Happy Hearts Homeschool. We're here to stay! In the family's fifth Sonlight year, Hayden (9, Core E) and Gunnar (6, Core A) participate in a theatre production inspired by Clara and the Bookwagon, a favorite from Core B.
