This year we dove into early American life with great books like Carry On, Mr. Bowditch, Toliver's Secret, and Johnny Tremain," writes Kim M of Maryville, TN. "Books like these allow the child to really understand history and historical events because they can connect with a character. With such vivid descriptions of the people and time period, they are able to form an emotional connection much like the experience of actually having been there. I believe this allows them to remember more historical details later on."Here, Wesley (10) and Jay (8) enjoy lunch while Kim reads from HBL D American History, Part 1.
When we began our Sonlight journey ten years ago, the Sonlight books and the customer testimonies convinced me that this truly is the way I wish I had been taught," writes Taryn H of Cape Town, South Africa."A decade since our oldest daughter started with Sonlight at the tender age of four, our family continues to enjoy what Sonlight has to offer and we particularly love the Read- Aloud time together."Here, Katie (13) reads aloud to her siblings Kiera (14), Micah (8) and Samuel (10) from their "firm favourite," Johnny Tremain (HBL D) in one of their favorite spots: the Constantia Greenbelt in Cape Town. The family is using History/Bible 120, Science 150, Literature/Language Arts 130; HBL D and E and Science D and E.
I chose Core D+E for my son's fifth grade education because I wanted him to get a firm foundation of American history before learning about the rest of the world. I was hesitant to start homeschooling again after a failed attempt, so I asked my sister who has homeschooled for 20 years what to do, and she told me about Sonlight. She knew that Caleb is a very strong reader and felt it would appeal to him because of the Readers and the way it incorporates history so strongly into the curriculum. He has found it challenging, exciting and enjoyable! Caleb (10) here reads poetry to baby sister Charity
