Switched-On Schoolhouse


Literature-Based

five-in-a-rowSonlight Curriculum is one of the most popular of the literature-based homeschool curriculums available. Rather than use textbooks, which can be rather dry and uninteresting to many children, literature-based curriculums use “living books” like Charlotte Mason advocated. Students read historical fiction, first-person accounts and books written by people with a passion for their subject. The Literature-based method actually covers a broad range of home schooling methods, including the Unit Study method, Charlotte Mason method, and other methods.

A literature-based homeschool works for parents/families who:

  • Want their child follow a set scope and sequence.
  • Want general accountability for their child.
  • See value in having their child love to read by reading books he or she will love to read.
  • Want to be involved in the day-to-day process of their child’s education.

Why choose Sonlight? Sonlight Curriculum’s literature base makes history “come alive.” Sonlight’s story-centered approach transforms “schoolwork” into “edge-of-your-seat” living history. Your children will remember more of what they learn because they won’t merely study it in dry textbooks, they will experience it through living books. Request a free catalog from Sonlight
