Sonlight has instilled a love of learning and curiosity about God's world in our daughters. When Afton was in public school, she hated to read (and, that's an understatement!). It must have been the content because ever since schooling with Sonlight, she has a tremendous love for reading and a deep love for history. Through rich literature, our daughters are able to learn about historically significant events, people, and places in a fun and engaging way. Who am I kidding? I'm learning right alongside them! Here, Afton (14) and Anja (11) read their Core G books with Grandma and Grandpa … who love Sonlight books too!

Because of the literature-rich nature of Sonlight, my children seem to be more imaginative and like to really live in the moment we're in, such as this one at the train station. Good books have opened our eyes as a family to the fact that every moment of life is part of a special story. We're now at a point with Sonlight books that the older two children anxiously await the responses of the younger ones as they listen to a book for the first time. In the family's fourth year of Sonlight study, Eilean (14) and Garrison (10) are sharing Core W, while Linus (6) and Loucette (4) together take on Core A. Cora (11 mos.) is waiting in the wings.

"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.
