Moore Book Reviews

“Better Late Than Early” by Raymond and Dorothy Moore is a book whose time has come.   The Moore’s position, through much research and documentation, has been that the child is being forced into the educational system much too early.  Through many years of research and nearly 29 pages of references “Better Late Than Early” presents a compelling reason why you should wait before jumping on the ‘the earlier the better’ bandwagon when it comes to educating your child.  It is their contention that a child’s cognitive skills don’t develop until the age of eight or nine; therefore it is a waste of time to attempt educating them until those cognitive skills have fully developed.

 As a more ‘scholarly’ follow up to their book “Better Late Than Early”, Raymond and Dorothy Moore’s book “School Can Wait II” represents ten years worth of research packed into “just” 300 pages.  To back up their position regarding when to begin educating children, they have added 37 pages of references at the back of the book.   Be assured that “School Can Wait” will challenge you at times due to its extensive in-depth writings.  No matter, this book is much more than a high brow resource for the academically inclined.  Read Full Review

 First and foremost, “The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook” is a book written to help the parent guide their children through the jungle that is the educational system.  Each chapter provides those guiding principles in a simple, small bites approach.   Be at ease though; it is not a book that solely advocates removing the child from mainstream schools and teaching them at home.  It more accurately addresses the need for parents to ensure their child’s education, whether it is in the home or the traditional public school setting.  Read Full Review
