"Caleb (7) is Autistic and gifted, or as we call it, differently wired," says Cynthia H of Champaign, IL. "Writing and fine motor skills are a huge challenge for him, but academically he is beyond average. Sonlight has been a great fit because it's based on Read-Alouds and discussion, so we can have rich, deep conversations as we read our way through history and around the world and he is not held back by his handwriting skills. I'm glad I found a program that can separate these two vital skills so he can excel at his own pace in each." Here, Caleb celebrates finishing his Readers for the year. The H's have been homeschooling for three years, two with Sonlight.

Caroline S of Marysville, WA, writes: "We love that with Sonlight, we have the security of knowing our son is receiving a rich, well-rounded educational experience that is also fun! He has grown exponentially in his love for reading this year, and we believe it's partly because of the excellent selection of stories Sonlight offers in both their Readers and Read-Alouds. Not to mention our son is receiving a rich dose of history and culture in each adventurous, heartfelt narrative! Our whole family is happy with the Sonlight program, and we cannot wait to continue with it again next year!"

The selection of Sonlight books we receive with our Core each year brings a passion to my life that overflows in my teaching and enriches each one of our lives. Not only does Sonlight introduce incredible, captivating and truly inspiring books to my children, but to my husband and me, as well. With all the curriculum choices available, I can understand that Sonlight may not be a fit for every family. However, I'm extremely grateful that Sonlight is a fit for the Happy Hearts Homeschool. We're here to stay! In the family's fifth Sonlight year, Hayden (9, Core E) and Gunnar (6, Core A) participate in a theatre production inspired by Clara and the Bookwagon, a favorite from Core B.
