Dear Customer,
|
You've been waiting so patiently
for the new catalog. And now it's closer than you may think! Look for a
special email from me tomorrow.
Until then, I'm excited to finally
reveal another change you'll see this year. Watch
this short video to see me explain:

Better labels for Core
Programs!
It's true. Many of the Core, Language Arts and Science Programs now have
new labels. Some astute moms on the Forums figured out the new names
system before we even intended to release them! Lotusutol saw a tiny
mention of Core F, Eastern
Hemisphere, and cracked the code. I'll let her fill you in:
"I think the Cores have been renamed
from K-7 to A-H, so that people don't get confused by the 'grade level'
numbers. I think the letters would make things less
confusing in choosing and combining cores."
She's right. And
that's exactly why we changed. As charleysoup points out, Sonlighters
have been suggesting this change for a while:
"Now- you gotta love Sonlight.
Yes, some of us have been asking for this for a LONG time, and they do
pay attention and respond when appropriate."
So why have many customers asked for
this change? How does it help you? Watch
the "What's New" video and I'll explain further
there. In short, using letters removes the grade connotation from the
Cores. This helps show that each Core works well for a range of ages and
grades.
For example, it's easier to accept
that Intro to American
History, Year 1 of 2 can be used effectively by a 5th
grader if it's called Core D rather than Core 3. Even though Core 3 was
always meant to serve a wide range of ages and grades, that number always
got in the way. Moms would feel unnecessarily hesitant to use a program
called Core 3 with their fourth or fifth grade students, even though that
might be the very best program for them to use. Click

Keep your eyes on your inbox (and mailbox) for your 2011 Sonlight

programs. And when you see it all put together, you'll understand how the
Core label changes play out.

Hang on one more day.
Then if you still have questions after you hear from me tomorrow, please
let me know or simply contact a Sonlight Curriculum Advisor.
These veteran Sonlight moms are already familiar with the new catalog and
