"After using Sonlight for just one year, I'm completely astonished how well my daughter reads," writes Jessie S of Deridder, LA. "Before we started using Sonlight, she absolutely loathed it. After using Core B with Grade 1 Readers, her reading skills took off and she now reads with amazing fluency. Reading has become enjoyable, and she actually offers to read to her younger siblings, much to their delight." Here, Journie (6) shares a good read with sister Piper (3) and brother Seeley (2).

My daughters are adopted. Reading our Sonlight books has created not only opportunities to learn about different cultures and people, but also a special time of bonding. I've always heard Sonlight has great literature. Now we're enjoying many different adventures – from missionary stories, to stories about dogs and dolphins, with interesting characters who captivate the minds of my children. These make a lasting impression and we continue to talk about them, even when the books are finished. With all the different ways we learn, it makes for a deeper level of understanding, as all senses are involved in the process. Bookworms Tiffany (7) and Abigal (6) are reading their way through Core A.
