Supplementing Sonlight Level F

Supplementing Sonlight FThese links complement Sonlight’s Level F package. Please note that these links may not be intended for the same age-range that this particular Sonlight package is designed for. Also, many of the educational webpages I have found were put together by public school teachers, and are intended for classroom use, so they’ll need to be modified for homeschooling.

What kinds of resources do you find most helpful? I would love for you to leave me a comment at the bottom of the page letting me know!

    Hi Karla! Thank you so much for your helpful post. I am looking to use Sonlight F with my kids next year and wondering whether it’s feasible with a wide age range. I have 5 kids: a 12 year-old (who will be just about 13 at the start of next school year) on down to a 3 year-old. Obviously, the youngest won’t get a whole lot out of HBL F but I’m hoping the 6, 8, and 10 year-olds might. Do you think the read-alouds are suitable for a 6 year-old to listen in on? She’s quite bright and a strong reader herself so I’m hopeful it might work to enjoy this course together. It looks so good!
