Before finding Sonlight, I was a panicked mom, praying I'd find a curriculum that wouldn't cause a daily battle between mother and children. Now my boys can't hide their excitement about starting school! Their enthusiasm is an answer to many prayers. Not only is there no fight, but they're asking me to read more almost every day, year after year. Sonlight has definitely been a 'God thing' for us. Our baby girl is due in November and she'll be a Sonlight child from birth! Nathan (9) and Micah (6) are studying Cores A and D in the W family's sixth Sonlight year.

There are many reasons we choose Sonlight each year: We love the books, the Christ-centered curriculum and we really do love to learn! One of my prayers for homeschooling was that  our children would have fun while learning together. Sonlight helped answer that prayer by providing great Readers, Read-Alouds, History lessons, Science experiments and Bible memory verses set to music that we can enjoy together. On this beautiful summer day, they took some of their favorite books outside to enjoy with each other. In their fifth Sonlight year, Karli (5) is using Core A with Language Arts 1 and Samantha (8) is using Core D. They're studying Science A and E together.

Experiencing Sonlight books together as a family has bonded us in a special way. The books have become old friends that we love to revisit. This photo was taken on a vacation day when I found my kids gathered around their older sister, listening to her read one of our favorites. My children are friends and they have these wonderful books in common. Sonlight has been true to its 'love to learn' guarantee. Katie (15), Lizzie (13), Abigail (11) and John (8) are studying Core 200, Core 100 and Core D in their eleventh year of Sonlight.
