10 Reasons I LOVE Sonlight Curriculum II Things to Know about Sonlight

We LOVE Sonlight too. My son’s cardiologist is the person who talked it up to us. I just wasn’t sure we could do all the books, but we are and loving every minute of it. My son loves reading and has become even stronger than I expected and my daughter has come to really love books too. This book loving mama could not be happier. And I love ALL the writing exposure my kids get and how everything works together in such a natural way.

My mom used sonlight HBLs for me 1st -12th grade...ten years out from high school I still remember so many of those great books with fondness. Whether or not I use Sonlight with my kids someday, I'll definitely read them several of the books in their programs!

Yes I use Sonlight currently in HBL C my boys say it's their favorite subject! I love it too!

I absolutely love sonlights history,science,and reading subjects we have been using them for 4 years and don’t plan on stopping. I actually separated each subject into their own 2 inch binders just seems easier to me.

I purchased HBL B this year and we attempted it in the beginning of the year but we weren't quite getting it 😂 so we put it up for a bit and brought it back out a couple months ago and now we're zooming through it! We are really enjoying it so much! I am so excited to continue on with Sonlight for a long time! ❤

Sonlight's book list is really stellar. Love their selections. ❤

We are using some of bookshark this next year, which I think is similar to sonlight just without some of the Bible aspects. We use something else for that but I’m excited to give it a try!

We are starting HBLK this year and I am so excited about it for ALL the reasons you mentioned! 🙌🏻

We love Sonlight! It’s our 7th year with them and my boys love reading and I’m pretty sure it’s because of their great book selection!

I’m a newbie to Sonlight but not to homeschooling. Your videos have been very helpful in making my decision to try it out. I have a special needs son who loves history and I needed to fill that interest for him. We are trying B and C condensed this coming year. And my 2 high schoolers are trying 130. I’m excited for something new and I love the BOOKS!!!

We have used Sonlight for the last three years roughly. I paused this year but then picked it back up and we were able to catch back up to end the year on time. Already purchased for next year and HBL C is sitting on the shelf ready to go!! I’m excited to start this next year with Sonlight and use it the entire school year

We are using it and loving it!! We are on HBL B and I have already purchased HBL C 🎉

We're on year 4 of sonlight and loooove it too!

I love all your videos. I would love to see you do a Sunlight and BookShark comparison. I know you have used secular programs before. ❤

I purchased the level K in January before they announced the switch of A and K levels. We're going to use the Science K and Language Arts K this year but I'm saving the American History for when they're in first grade. I agree that it does seem a bit advanced for 5 year olds. We're using Beautiful Feet Around the World with Picture Books this year instead. I do love Sonlight though and will continue to use them in the future. 😊

Hello! Great video! Do you plan to use the entire program for your kindergarteners? I’m looking into it but debating about switching out the math. I have heard great things about Math-U-See, but I am leaning more towards a Singapore Math curriculum. Just curious. Thanks again for the videos!

Thanks for sharing. I'm early on in the journey trying to decide whether we should use AAR alongside Sonlight LA if we do opt to homeschool. My son is further ahead in reading (although no necessarily in copywork/handwriting) than what I see in Sonlight for K. AAR would allow us to move at a quicker pace for reading/phonics. So your point on slow and steady resonated. If you were to go 'back' would you simply use Sonlight LA or still supplement with the other reading programmes because of your kids' unique needs? Thanks

This was great, thank you! Would you consider sonight to follow a "Charlotte Mason" style principle as it is literature based?

I love the idea that Sonlight has the schedule made for you. this might seem like a dumb question but what if you fall behind in one subject? are you then having to work off of two schedules at the same time? or do you skip a lesson to stay on track?

Do you do the four or five day program. How long does it take your family to complete your school most days?
