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.

"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!"

"Sonlight's rich historical novels birthed a desire in Rebecca to one day write a book of her own," writes Beth W of Flowery Branch, GA. "At age 15, she wrote White Star, an historical fiction fantasy based on true events surrounding the Titanic. When she was 18, the book was published. 'I owe my passion for history and writing to Sonlight,' says Rebecca. 'During my impressionable middle school years, Sonlight exposed me to rich classics and thrilling novels that made history come alive. Thank you for inspiring me to create and write.'" Here, the young author, who studied with Sonlight from 5th through 10th grade,  proudly displays her work. Today, she promotes her book at signings and speaks to children about creative writing, the editing process and how she became published.
