I love that Sonlight offers different options for math that can cater to your child's personality and learning style. Isaac loves Singapore Math and I love that it caters to his individual learning style. Being able to color, trace, match, and a variety of other learning methods helps him stay focused. Isaac (4) is using Core A for kindergarten alongside Gideon (6), who is using it for first grade. Both boys also beg to join little sister Lucy for the Preschool Multi-Subject Package because they love the books!

Sonlight has created a love of reading and exploring in all our kids, including our youngest who will just be starting to homeschool. Jadon (5) loves to build with the math manipulatives while he listens to the older kids learn their Bible verses and learn about various peoples and lands. We have been using Sonlight for over four years and we love the curriculum. Though Jadon is just starting Sonlight, he has been listening in to his older siblings' learning for years. Here, he builds a math manipulatives fort with Jonathan (7).

Math came very naturally to our three sons thanks to Singapore Math. Singapore worked well, as it encourages mental usage of the numbers. However, math did not come easily to Ashley. Thanks to Sonlight for guiding us and making additional help available, such as the Vroot & Vroom and Wiggle Woods CDs [Singapore supplements #RM168 and #RM169]. Ashley has become very confident and accomplished in her math skills. In this photo from several years ago, Dad spends some quality time with Ashley helping her with math. She is now 11 years old and studying Core H.
