Sonlight Curriculum Review: Sonlight Brightens our Home with New Adventures!

by Rebecca

Visitor Sonlight Curriculum Review: This is our second year homeschooling. After mulling through all of the material available, we chose Sonlight.

Last year, we used Core 1 and 2. This year: Core 2 and 3. A lot of people say we're crazy to cover two cores every year...but, it helps my Son (in Core 3) maintain his position as oldest in the house and keeps my middle child (dreamy daughter) comfortable in not being pushed to hard (with Core 2).

We don't always cover everything every day. I love the way the lesson plans are written and I love that I can change, move forward or backward on any given moment.

I also love the fact that the writers admitted that they did not do everything...that let me off the hook, too!

Why do we like it? We love the adventures we have taken around the world in the books they have provided. We also love the fact that they provide both sides of the coin...meaning evolution and creationism. This gives me an opportunity to raise my children with knowledge regarding both, yet providing the appropriate guidance.

The music/cds are great, too! I have always believed that you teach children through song and play! What a great way to learn about Geography and Grammar...than through singing about them! Even our third child, now 4, runs around the house singing about the 7 continents and 4 oceans!

Many Thanks to Sonlight for our many adventures!

Sonlight, Year One
by: Jenny H (Virginia)

We had been looking at Sonlight for a few years, but the price deterred us. Then, after using a few other curriculum, I realized I spent so much on supplements that it was cheaper to try Sonlight.

We ordered P3/4 for our two youngest. Our eldest is almost done HOD Beyond, so after he finished he will also start Sonlight.

We love Sonlight, too. It is possible to use just one core and adjust the language and math for each child. This is such a time saver, and actually takes less time than the programs we initially used that boasted of age integrated cycles. Sonlight was faster, more enjoyable, and the children retained more. Their book choices are amazing.

I also tried to piece their curriculum by using Amazon books, free shipping, 4-for-3 deals, and Sonlight still came out cheaper since they have 10-15% discounts on some packs.

We've also used their Summer Reading for elementary boys and we are enjoying that thoroughly.
