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.  

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.

Thanks to Sonlight, the first thing my children ask to do when they're bored is to READ! They delight in books, thanks to the ample library we now own. One of the best things about homeschooling is being able to choose programs that fit your child's unique needs and gifts. Sonlight has allowed me to do that for my children, which makes teaching enjoyable and rewarding. Before Sonlight, I was stressed out, overwhelmed and without direction. Now I know exactly where we're going and how we're going to get there! A happy, confident teacher produces students who are eager to learn. We wouldn't have gotten there without Sonlight! In his second year, Jackson (6) is studying Core C, as London (3) and Brooklyn (1) listen in.
