The following chart matches Sonl

Homeschool Share & Sonlight

The following chart matches Sonlight titles with HSS titles. Most of the Sonlight selections are from Cores K-4 with a few from Core 5. Also, if you have a suggestion for a Sonlight/HSS match-up that is not on this chart, please submit it.

How to use this chart: I plan to just choose one Sonlight title to go with each FIAR picture book. However, some of the Sonlight books are picture books, so you may want to preview at your library before you decide to choose just one book. Another way you could use this chart is to assign your older students a chapter book that matches the unit your younger ones are studying.

RA= recommended read aloud grade level for the Sonlight suggestions
***= HSS unit that hasn't been posted yet
