Sonlight Curriculum Recommended Reading

Sonlight Curriculum required reading books are always discounted at Schoolhouse Publishing!

Sonlight Curriculum is a wonderful literature-based unit study.  I used Sonlight for a number of years and remember those years as among my favorites!  (I was even a Sonlight rep for a year.)  During those years, we built a wonderful library full of living books, classic literature, and great stories and biographies for our homeschool.  As you well know, using a literature-based curriculum can become either expensive (if you're buying the books) or time consuming (if you're borrowing them).  Because we are so passionate about literature-based studies, we've done our best to keep our prices as low as possible so that you, too, can enjoy the benefits of Sonlight Curriculum and other literature-based studies.  This section is devoted to the books required in Sonlight Curriculum.

Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
Robinson Crusoe
$2.95   $2.00
Softcover, 288 pgs, 9780486404271

This classic story of a shipwrecked mariner on a deserted island is perhaps the greatest adventure in all of English literature. Fleeing from pirates, Robinson Crusoe is swept ashore in a storm possessing only a knife, a box of tobacco, a pipe-and the will to survive. His is the saga of a man alone: a man who overcomes self-pity and despair to reconstruct his life; who painstakingly teaches himself how to fashion a pot, bake bread, build a canoe; and who, after twenty-four agonizing years of solitude, discovers a human footprint in the sand...

The Kidnapped Prince by Equiano
The Kidnapped Prince
  $8.39
Softcover, 160 pgs, 9780375803468

Kidnapped at the age of 11 from his home in Benin, Africa, Olaudah Equiano spent the next 11 years as a slave in England, the U.S., and the West Indies, until he was able to buy his freedom. His autobiography, published in 1789, was a bestseller in its own time. Cameron has modernized and shortened it while remaining true to the spirit of the original. It's a gripping story of adventure, betrayal, cruelty, and courage. In searing scenes, Equiano describes the savagery of his capture, the appalling conditions on the slave ship, the auction, and the forced labor. . . . Kids will read this young man's story on their own; it will also enrich curriculum units on history and on writing.
