"Sonlight is all we use; we love the full grade option," writes Heather S of Nisland, SD. "I know that when we wrap up week 36 for the year, my kids have way surpassed what my state requires them to do for their school year! As a busy ranch wife and mom, I don't have the time or energy to research what books are best for my kiddos. I love all the work that Sonlight has done researching, updating and putting Instructor's Guides together for me. They boost my confidence and encourage me to be a better teacher than I thought I could be.

"One of the greatest gifts Sonlight has given us is the books that light up our day," writes Mandi V of Lynchburg, VA. "Our backyard was transformed into the forest in Kildee House, our house was an Alaskan schoolroom during The Year of Miss Agnes, and so on. We don't have to travel far to enjoy the living books Sonlight provides. By the end of our first year, I knew homeschooling was the best decision we'd made, and that we'd be a Sonlight family for a very long time."

"Sonlight's flexibility allowed us to do school together, despite the differences in my kids' ages," writes Rachel B. of Weatherford, TX. "We just finished our first year homeschooling two children, and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was! James (5) was eager to jump into the History / Bible / Literature program Elizabeth (8) was using. Anne (2) got a kick out of 'supervising' her older siblings with me!" Elizabeth, James and Anne pose with all their Sonlight Read-Alouds.
