"Our 8-year-old son didn't like Language Arts, but since we discovered Sonlight we have seen a great change in his attitude toward reading and writing," writes Ana P of Naples, FL. "He loves reading the Sonlight books, especially The Beginner's Bible. He likes it so much that he reads it not only for his Language Arts class but also every night before he goes to sleep. It's wonderful to see my son not only improving in reading comprehension and writing but also to see that he is doing it using the word of God." Matt (8) particularly enjoys when he can do his reading up in a tree.

Joy H of Lehigh Acres, FL writes: "We started Sonlight after trying a workbook type curriculum that was leaving us all frustrated. Sonlight's Readers and Read-Alouds capture the Graham's attention despite his ADHD diagnosis. When prompted to write a paragraph about a favorite character or book, he has a difficult time choosing just one!" Here, Graham (9) and his dad enjoy a funny poem from Cornstalks in Sonlight C. Now that he likes his homeschool, Graham particularly looks forward to this book every week.

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.
