"We've been a Sonlight family for most of the past 15 years," writes Melissa C of Wray, CO. "It was the first curriculum we ever researched and, after looking into dozens of others (and using some of them), the one we came back to. I love that the Instructor's Guide does all the planning for me. Our bookworm kids devour the Readers, and even our kids who didn't enjoy reading have been captivated by the literature. Read-Aloud time is, hands down, our favorite part of the day! It's like pulling old friends off the shelf as we read and reread them to our five kids." Eloise (13, HBL W) celebrates the end of the year with her finished stack of books!

"Rebekah (12) has become an avid reader!" writes Elizabeth B of Jeanerette, LA. "She just started reading her Readers on her own, and I'm a little jealous. My favorite time with her is reading; the books are just so good. We haven't found one that we did not enjoy. From action to suspense to joy and sadness, we have shed tears over some characters and rejoiced with others. We would have never thought about reading these books had they not been introduced with our curriculum. So thank you, Sonlight. We will graduate with you!" Here, Rebekah reads to her eager guinea pig, Bubbles.

Sonlight has made a fun, challenging education possible for our children, without creating much additional work for their mother. We couldn't have successfully gotten this far without the great curriculum, wonderful books, and helpful teacher's manual that Sonlight provided. If I had to pick my favorite things about Sonlight, they would be the wonderful literature, the fact that planning and prep work are already done for me, the in-depth look at history, and the complete flexibility. Here, the G family poses on a family trip to the Badlands. This year, Beren (9) is using Core E as Helena (12) studies Core 100.  After thirteen years of Sonlight, Zach (18) has graduated and is on to Ohio State University to study entomology.
