Sonlight's Language Arts programs are so versatile. This year is the third time through Language Arts 1 for our family, and I have been able to tailor the program to meet the needs of each individual child. If one child needs more work with a certain concept, there are plenty of extra activities in the Instructor's Guide that I can choose from to reinforce that concept. But if they catch on quickly, I have the option of leaving out the extra activities. We also love Sonlight's choices for Readers. The books in Language Arts 1 are familiar favorites that the little ones often pull off the shelf for Mommy to read. Here, Katie (7) reads to Mom as Meghan (3) and Karson (2) eagerly join in for the story. 

My husband caught this moment unbeknownst to us. I'm so glad he did! Here we are camped out on the sofa reading from the Family-Time Bible in Pictures. Our girls have learned so many Bible stories from this book they have amazed their Sunday school teachers. We've had to teach them to listen respectfully in class instead of calling out, "I already know that story!" We have had a wonderful first year of homeschooling with Sonlight. Our daughters loved all the stories in the P3/4 program. We've read most of them multiple times. My husband and I have seen huge growth in their vocabulary and listening comprehension. My favorite thing has been watching my 3 year old daughter "read" her favorites on her own almost word for word. We are looking forward to P4/5 and repeating p3/4 with our two younger children in the future.

"The Sonlight Language Arts program is exceptional," writes Erin J of Alberta, Canada. "Cayleigh (7) went from not being able to read a word at the start of 1^st grade, to being able to read anything at the end of it. It's an amazing curriculum. Cayleigh now devours every book she can get her hands on. The emphasis on reading and the sheer variety of books has sparked a love of the written word in all my children, who I now find bringing books to church, friends' houses, and even the playground!"  Here, Caden (9), Cayleigh (7), Liana (6), Josiah (4), look at their Sonlight books while Samara and Sofia (2) sit in.
