~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SONLIGHT ~ DISCONTINUED BOOK LIST (UPDATED April 2016)
Here’s how we've gone about compiling this list:
Prior to 2012, if a book had been moved to another Core, in general, we've not included it in this list, typing up only the titles that have remained dropped. Quite a few books were dropped out and then added back into SL Cores, at regular intervals, over the years – we've only included the titles that have remained dropped. Electives, or Science titles have not been noted, unless they were a science biography. We have not included a separate listing for Core 6A titles. {Updated in 2013 to show books dropped from Core W}

We have worked through the catalogues: 1994, 1995,1997-2014--- and a jumble of personal notes to come up with this non-exhaustive list of discontinued Sonlight titles. (All those tiles with this little squiggle ~ between the title and the author are my hours of work). Thanks to Tara of the SL forums for all her work; if you see the author's name in brackets, this is her generous contribution.

Request for Use:
** Please be considerate and do not copy and redistribute the details off this list as your own work. If you decide to recreate this list, or use portions of it, to place in amongst a list of your own design; in your own document, on a post, in a tweet, on pinterest, or ... Please give credit to the SL moms/mums who contributed to, or worked on the original: Chelle (NZ)---Tara (SL Forums)--Jill (US)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As a note, you may enjoy my Homeschool Resource Library which is full of great homeschool and parenting help and encouragement. 

~If you have any of the 
Sonlight® Catalogs from 1990-1993 or 1996, I would love to either have you see what books have been dropped from those years, or to get [or purchase] those catalogs from you so I could do it. It would be great to have a more complete list. Email me, you can find my email on the side of my blog. ~


(I am still looking for the 1990, 91, 92, 93 and 96 catalogs. If you have any of these and would like to sell or give it to me, I would be grateful and could make this list more complete. Please email me at bluegrassjill@gmail.com)

  2. PS: Jill I noticed (I think??) that you've copied and pasted the list more than once here; or am I missing something at first glance and there is a reason to posting.
    My comment is intended as a help not as a criticism... hoping it comes across that way. ☺

  5. Thank you SO MUCH for this list! We don't use the Sonlight curriculum, but have a similar approach and like their reading lists. Your list is an invaluable resource!

  6. I'm just returning to Sonlight after several years and this list is a lifesaver! I don't feel so crazy when I look up books I know USED to be in Sonlight when our older kids were using it. Thank you! Some of the books they've taken out were our favorites and I will put them out in our "extra book basket" for the kiddos to pick up, read, skim thru, etc.

  7. Oh my goodness. Thank you for posting this! There is a nine year gap between my older kids and my youngest and I see several of our favorites on this list. I'm so glad to know that I will need to add these now so my youngest won't miss out!

  8. It says from Akebu to Zapotec has been dropped. Is there a new version or are they just not doing the Bibleless peoples anymore?
