Product Description
If you are thinking about homeschooling, or are struggling with a homeschooling curriculum that is difficult to use, let Dr. Ray and Dorothy Moore show you how to make homeschooling an easy-to-live-with family adventure in learning. Known as the grandparents of homeschooling, the Moores have helped thousands of parents successfully homeschool their children -- comfortably and effectively. This low--stress, low--cost program shows you how to build a curriculum around your childs needs and interests -- and around a realistic family schedule. Instead of a cut--and-dried approach, youll discover the freedom of a flexible program that encourages creativity and initiative. Youll be able to give your children a better grasp of the basics while giving them a richer and more independent view of the world. With a realistic look at the problems homeschooling parents face, this comprehensive handbook offers practical strategies that help you * Choose a curriculum that really works for you and your children * Avoid student resentment and parent burnout * Target your childs interest and motivation to make learning fun * Help your child excel in educational goals, including standardized tests * Understand how a childs developmental stages contribute to learning * See the big picture of family and society in the learning process This creative approach to homeschooling puts the family first, without sacrificing educational quality. Based on extensive research and use, The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook offers a creative alternative to the regular classroom approach.

borrow it if you can,
By Julie (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook (Paperback)
This book will help you to relax about homeschooling if you're stressing about it, but other than that, i was pretty dissapointed. If i could do it again, I'd try to borrow it from someone rather than spending money on it. In fact, I'm going to donate my copy to my local library. The Moores promote their way of homeschooling as the best way and encourage you to buy their 'Manual' to learn how. If you really want to know about their method, skip this book and get their manual. Do keep in mind that they were Seventh-Day Adventist, so if you're going to order from their catalog, just know that there are Adventist books in their Bible section.

Info based on stereotypical information - not research,
By "none90987" (Colville, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook (Paperback)
For example, William Sidis is described as 'burned out', or unbalanced. At the time of his death - his friends did not think that he was either. He wasn't. He rejected capitalism, for that he is remembered, even in new books - as unbalanced. This author did not do research.

almost burned out homeschool mom from Utah,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook (Paperback)
I have been homeschooling for three years now, and I realized awhile ago that I had brought "school home" instead of homeschooling. This book gave me confidence to wait until my children are ready (one daughter is 7 and can read, but not well and she does not enjoy it) to even teach the basics. My son (10 yrs. old) hated to read, but backing off and not pushing him helped a great deal, and now he enjoys reading. This book is an excellent help in avoiding burnout. Homeschooling has become enjoyable again and the atmosphere of our home has changed drastically. Dr. Raymond and Dorothy Moore have much expertise in their field, but they have also experienced much of what they teach. They have a great website <BR... with information about the Moore formula. I would recommend this book to anyone who is considering homeschooling, or those who are having problems with their children in a formal school setting. It was relief to again have confidence in my decision to homeschool and know that I can help my children gain the knowledge they need to succeed in life.
