History / Bible / Literature D

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.

"Three years ago I was hesitant to purchase our first Core from Sonlight because it was more money than I usually spent on school books, but after the first year I had no qualms about purchasing the next Core – it's worth every penny to see my sons loving to learn together!" writes Kerri H. "When they read and listen to the same stories and lessons, they can talk about them and even act them out together. Even our youngest son, who isn't doing the same core as the older three, loves to listen in and join in the fun of 'playing' history. One day I glanced toward the playground to see my boys reenacting the Boston Tea Party!" Here, Isaac (10) Luke (9), Levi (9) and Elijah (7) crowd in to read together outside. In their third year of Sonlight, the three older boys are sharing Core D as Elijah uses Core A.

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.
