Sonlight is way more than a series of awesome books to read; it is the habit of sitting down on the sofa and digging into a good book and thoughtful conversations. These times pull our busy family together in spite of a wide variety of ages, interests and energy levels. I was hesitant to invest in a program that at first seemed like 'just books.' But the traditions and values of family time, discussion and critical thinking that our family has developed because of the encouragement I get from the Instructor's Guide is worth far more than I ever dreamed! Here, Ethan (10, Core F), Tristan (4, Core A) and Kian (7, Core F) squeeze in to hear Mom read a Sonlight favorite. They and 13-year-old Zara (Core 100) have used Sonlight since the beginning.

Nine years later, I see my kids loving to learn on their own and knowing HOW to do that! When I first learned about Sonlight, I thought, 'Yes! This is what I've been looking for!' The two areas that stand out most are: 1) They know how to write and express themselves well, and 2) They understand history and how it all fits together in a way that I never learned. Where Readers are concerned, Angela (12, Core F) loves finding herself up a tree on a sunny day.  

After 10 years of homeschooling, I ordered Sonlight Core F. It was so much easier than my previous years of trying to piece things together on my own! My oldest was at the high end of the age range, and my next daughter a little young … and we totally enjoyed it! We didn't do every book, but we learned so much. To have everything laid out with the Instructor's Guide was a blessing and breath of fresh air! Curriculum is a tool to help us homeschool effectively and Sonlight works wonderfully! Here, Olivia (14), Grace (10), Amelia (7) and Abbey (5) enjoy the biography of missionary Hudson Taylor.
