Sonlight Language Arts Level 3 Flip-Through II Instructors Guide, Student Sheets & Readers

Thanks for showing us! Really helps me to get a mental handle on how all the pieces work together.

I love to see your videos on Sonlight. It’s convincing me to try it.

We did LA 1, but since we were doing All About Reading at the time I found it to just be too much to do both. I think if we were just using it alone we would’ve really liked it. We only used it for about 4-6 weeks before I dropped it. But I still have it just in case it might work better for my next two little ones that aren’t in school yet. 😊 Great review!

I love that you did this video, there are not very many positive sonlight la videos out there. I am excited to get back to sonlight LA and get rid of the fluff we have taken on this year. I have found I like things laid out for me for the entire year and it has to be simple. Sonlight checks all those boxes!

Look at you changing up where you shoot! 😊

I have used the readers only w my 9 yo and it’s been great. I love the slow progression of difficulty. Definitely some books he wasn’t a fan of but some he liked. I like the variety of time frames and locations of the stories we have read. The IG for the readers was helpful for us. I placed a post it w the question for him to answer on the page so he could do his reading independently.

Thank you for sharing! I've been interested in Bookshark and their LA is pretty well the same so this has been great to see inside one of the levels. I did notice that a few of the Level 3 readers for Sonlight are actually included in Level 2 of Bookshark so I wonder if any other parts of the LA differs very much?

Not sure why Sonlight always seemed overwhelming to me, but the way you explain it point by point helps it all make sense to me! Love the setup. The only thing I wonder is if there's enough of a spiral approach so that students can remember rules and lessons long term? Would love to know, thank you 😊

I use HBL B and readers, I started the LA. But felt it was too parent intensive 🤷‍♀️ so we use workbooks BJU LA, explode the code, evan moore spelling, and reading comprehensive. That is more independent learning. Wondering your thoughts on this. I have a 9 & 12 year old that i will be doing HBL C in the fall and trying to figure out math and la. 🤷‍♀️

Oh my gosh, I love LA 3. We are currently doing LA Level D, and we are liking it so far, but that diamond writing process looks amazing, I really wish I could back my children up to that level. However, we are way too old. 13- and 10-year-old here.

I just finished binge watching 3 of your Sonlight LA videos 🙈 I may have missed it, but you mentioned that your 3rd grader was doing Level 2 and your 2nd grader was doing Level 1, and I was curious as to why. I heard somewhere that Sonlight can be more advanced and people should keep that in mind when selecting levels. My kids are currently in 2nd, 1st and we have a 4 year old (turning 5 next month) who just recently started level 1 curriculum. Considering switching to Sonlight and just wanted any suggestions you might have. Thanks for your videos! They are very helpful.

Hi Angie! I discovered your channel a few months ago and have watched quite a few of your videos. I think your channel is wonderful. I have a 17 month old and I am considering homeschooling him. The issue is that I am more comfortable with British English curriculum. Is there a British curriculum that’s similar to Sonlight you would recommend?

This looks awesome!!! I like how the readers have vocabulary in!!! I prefer my kids to copy bible verses!!! My kids love examples!!! Idk what my youngest feels with writing yet tho!!! My older kids are below grade level in language arts tho!!!

Do you feel like you have to be quite involved as an instructor? I just don’t have the freedom to work with several kids individually but love sonlight’s intentions. Thanks for sharing!

Wondering if you are using this now? If so how is it going? I just ordered an ASP with the 25% off. So I am going to be trying the LA again. So do you just rotate abeka (is that writing & grammar) and SL ?

How many hours do you spend homeschooling with Sonlight LA, Science and HBL each day? It sounds like a lot, but I'm considering it for my 3rd grader next year (only child). So far, we've just been using their read-alouds so we're not on a schedule.

I like the diamond writing guide. I wish I could get just that part. The readers are not as diverse as I prefer.

What levels of Bloom Taxonomy do these books cover?

Is it possible to use the curriculum without the readers and have it still be just as beneficial? I have another program of readers with guides but I am lacking in the language arts category with the phonics and writing and the rest looked great I just wouldn’t need the readers

Will you be using the phonics and Wordly Wise books with your child? I'm about to start level 3 with my third grader, and while the Explode the Code phonics books had been great for him up to now, I was thinking of forgoing extra phonics in LA 3. Especially with the extra paragraph writing work in it.
