From the Mouths of Babes: Hear What Homeschooling with Sonlight is Like From Sonlight Kids

From the Mouths of Babes: Hear What Homeschooling with Sonlight is Like From Sonlight Kids

At Sonlight, we hear from parents about the quality conversations they have and the special memories made while reading stories to their children.  They see their kids' daily joys and struggles and love that they can support them through it all.  But what about the kids?  If you’ve ever wanted to know how our Sonlight kids feel, listen in while we talk to them. Ranging in age from preschool to high school, we’ve asked them what they think about homeschooling, whether or not they’d recommend it to their peers, and what their favorite Sonlight books really are.
