"Our 8-year-old son didn't like Language Arts, but since we discovered Sonlight we have seen a great change in his attitude toward reading and writing," writes Ana P of Naples, FL. "He loves reading the Sonlight books, especially The Beginner's Bible. He likes it so much that he reads it not only for his Language Arts class but also every night before he goes to sleep. It's wonderful to see my son not only improving in reading comprehension and writing but also to see that he is doing it using the word of God." Matt (8) particularly enjoys when he can do his reading up in a tree.

Michelle M of Louisville, KY writes: "As a former private school teacher, I like how Sonlight's lessons are laid out for you. It saves so much time! I hoped to put together my own curriculum before having children but the amount of time and energy it takes to research and explore the subjects won't allow me to now. Finding Sonlight was a relief because they have already put the time and energy into the research. Now, I am freed up to engage my children and teach them!" Here, Michelle's youngest, Oak (5) celebrates the freedom of homeschooling by practicing his handwriting in full costume.

"I am so thankful that I can spend my time working with my children rather than planning lessons," says Amanda T of Port Matilda, PA. "If I had a curriculum that required a lot of extra time finding books or coordinating themed activities, I know I wouldn't be consistent and I would burn out." In addition to easy lesson planning, Amanda says she has seen a huge change in her children's relationship. In this photo, taken two years ago, Charlotte (now 10 and studying HBL F) leaves a sweet message for her sister Grace (now 6, HBL B). "We wanted to be able to place a priority on honoring God in our schooling. With Sonlight, I see our children spending time learning about the Lord and growing in love for one another." The T family has been Sonlighting for as long as they've homeschooled: three years.
