It was a relief to find a curriculum that had already compiled the best of the best. Before Sonlight, I made so many trips to the library to find books that enforced our learning, often to be disappointed with the selections. We love spending time together while using the Sonlight approach of living books to teach history and culture. Here, it had been raining for days and days when my daughter built a blanket fort and snuggled up with her book, Pippi Longstocking. Before long her brother joined her, and then Daddy came home. Beyla (7) and Ozzie (6) are enjoying their first year of Sonlight.

"Sonlight Readers helped my children learn to read with more giggles than tears," says Ruth L of Postville, IA. "There are books that inspire laughter, some that bring tears, some that inspire art, and some that inspire a snack break! Sharing these stories is one of our favorite things about Sonlight. We are falling more in love with the literature Sonlight chooses every year!" Pictured, Bailey (6) and Riley (7) share some of their favorite read-alouds.The L's have been Sonlighting for three years.

"Sonlight Box Day!!" writes Kim B of Johnson City, TN. "It's almost as exciting as Christmas morning! We are in the trenches of First Grade, but our Second Grade curriculum arrived. Look at all those books! We are committed to falling in love with learning for our third year. It's a blessing to homeschool with my daughter. I never thought I could, or would, homeschool. Sonlight makes it not only doable, but one of the best gifts I can give her. We are so grateful for the Christ-centered, literature-rich curriculum that Sonlight offers."
