Sonlight Preschool & *NEW* Pre-K Homeschool Curriculum II Modifications, Book Resources & Plans

Hey homeschool friends! I am so excited to share all of the Sonlight books with my 4 year old twins. Over the next few years we will use Sonlight HBL-T and Sonlight HBL-P. Have you used either of these programs?

This is exactly what I’m doing with my newly 5 year old instead of jumping straight to K level. We’re loving T so far and we’re running through it since we do more than 3 days a week cause the books are just really engaging and fun.

Love how you’ve modified their curriculum to make it work for you. Book choices look great. My kids LOVE The Bernstein Bears Science book.

[StaceyYoder]

This looks like so much fun! 🙂 Lots of great books. And that's awesome you can use some of the stuff you already have.

[RockSimmer-galGod]

Nothing wrong wiv swapping books!!! The science books look awesome. I’ve only used play for science at that age and still am with our 4 year old!!!

This was so fun to see! I just started Simply Classical C from Memoria press with my preschooler and we love all the books but he always wants more, so I've been picking some from sonlight lists. We just got Milly Molly Mandy as well.

This is very similar to how I would like to do preschool/prek. We have so many books already and I’ll just piece together what we have and do other academic things. 😄

[GenJenandJuice]

Well I’ll just comment on ALL your vids now I guess 😂 this is such a good plan. I love this bc I was so torn between doing preschool or level k for my 4.5 year old. But this idea alongside Abeka to learn to read may be what we do next year 🤷🏻‍♀️

Loved looking into this! We are wrapping up the first half of Level T next week. My daughter is 3.5yo now, so I took the Level T and split it over this year and next. So when we start the Prek Level, she will be turning 5 and we'll do that whole Level in 1 year at that time. :)

We didn't use any of the extras beyond the books either. We DID do the "baking a biscuit pizza" with the "Pete's a Pizza" book in Level T. Both of my kiddos loved that!

[MatthewsAdventures]

Yes! I've found my kids do best with SL when we stay at the upper end of the age ranges.

Most people on the Facebook group recommend doing PreK with age 4-5, then do level A before K. So level A in kindergarten age 5-6 followed by level K at age 6-7. Haven’t gotten there myself but just fyi!

[ashantirae]

What did you replace the developing an early learner books with ?

[cw]

I recently purchased level K for my son, who turns 5 in July and my daughter who will be 7 in June. We are only on week 5, but I feel like it’s too much for my little guy and he is not getting much out of it. He is learning his letter sounds, but the storybooks are hard for him to follow. Im considering purchasing the 4-5 year program for him even though he’ll be considered a kindergartener in the fall. There are so many options and my head is spinning from trying to decide what to do 😣

Once you get into the thick of it I’m curious how long you spend reading each day. I keep going back/forth on the early years Bookshark. Books look great but it just feels like a lot.

[themodernhomemaker]

are you starting with t and ending with p or doing both at the same time?

[ThisHicksHouse]

Do you have a link for the HBL multiple children (books on a shelf) printout? I can’t find the cute book printout, just an excel type.

[vashley]

Are you going to schedule all the books? Aren’t you? How?

[paattention]

How instrumental is it to have the instructor's guide if you are just using the booklist only?

[jackiemadegwa]

Is the preschool instructor's guide available for free or purchase. I tried getting it but looks like I have to buy with the books.

[AlwaysBooked]

Ok maybe I'll do this instead! haha. I feel like the website is so confusing!

[mercedesmeyer]

We hated uncle wiggly. Have you started it yet?
