Thank you, Sonlight, for providing a rich and gentle introduction to learning through literature. Sonlight allowed me to teach my older daughters while meeting my new baby's needs with tender flexibility. That same flexibility led us to read on blankets in the yard, curled up by the fire with cups of cocoa or even in our red wagon. Reading together has provided so many cozy moments for our growing family, stirred our imaginations, shaped our character and invited us into a culture of shared stories we'll never forget. Elise (7) and Sadie (5) are studying Core B, as Raina (3) and Hope (11 mos.) come along for the ride on the first-year Sonlight adventure.

I'm so thankful for Sonlight's Language Arts guidance. We kept plugging away and I took faith in the tips and pointers (and Ruth Beechick's book). I won't forget the week everything seemed to brighten and I wasn't 'making' Zeke read anymore. He now says reading is his favorite! Here, Zeke (7, Core C) and Amelia (4, Pre-Kindergarten Multi-Subject) think little sister Isabella's hair looks like Ping from Little Pear [Core B].

"Our family absolutely loves Sonlight," writes Cassandra G of Lexington, KY. "We are finishing up History / Bible / Literature A and Science A, and every day they ask if we are doing a science experiment or video today. If not, they ask to re-watch one of the videos we have seen already! When I started looking into homeschooling I tried to piece it all together myself, but I wasn't happy with it. I wanted to spend time with my children learning, not planning. I can't thank Sonlight enough for putting together such wonderful curriculum. Now we can open and go wherever we are!"
