"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.

When I first read the Sonlight forums and how kids would beg for one more chapter or to do school on the weekends, I didn't believe it. I do now. We have had many days where begging to do school is the norm. I know that with a love of learning she will be able to do anything she sets her mind to. I couldn't ask for more out of a homeschool curriculum. Not only is 5-year-old Valerie getting a great education ... so are her stuffed animals! Valerie is studying Core A in her third year of Sonlight.

Sonlight reenforces the values we have for our children. If we could give our kids one gift besides knowing God, it would be the love of learning and reading. Sonlight gives us both of these. We often find our boys reading extra books even after their homeschool work is done. They can't get enough. In their fourth year of Sonlight, Samuel (10), Ian (8) and Zach (5) re-read a favorite from Core B. The two older boys are studying Core D this year.
