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 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.
