Supplementing Sonlight Core 3
When you order a Sonlight Core package, chances are you will get more materials than you can complete in
a year. Most families don't try to "do it all"! However, if you're like me, occasionally you will read a book or
hit upon a subject that your children are particularly interested in, and you want to learn more about it. That's
what this page is for!
Several years ago, when my children were quite young, I began to compile a list of links that enhanced or
supplemented the Sonlight Core materials we were using. I posted it on my website, and many Sonlighters have told
me that they have found it to be very helpful. Each year I have added to that list.
Please note that these links may not be intended for the same age-range that this particular Sonlight Core 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.

Audio books are great to listen to in the car... or for favorite stories the kids love to hear over and over, long after Mom's voice has given out.

Coloring Books
I love Dover coloring and activity books! They include wonderful details and are historically accurate, and inexpensive! These are great to give the children something to do during Read-Aloud time:
Supplemental E-books
