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.
