Unschooling / Homeschooling Books
Here are a few of my favorite Unschooling and Homeschooling books. Most I still have on my shelf, even though we have been homeschooling / unschooling for many years now. They are dear friends and I cannot part with them.
If you have a question about a particular book, please e-mail me and I will do my best to answer your question. I hope to eventually offer some brief descriptions / reviews of each of these books detailing why I found them to be particularly helpful.

Better Late Than Early
A New Approach to Your Child’s Education
by Raymond S. Moore
|
| Raymond & Dorothy Moore spent years investigating the results of early education. They examined other studies and did their own studies. They found that in the early years, up to somewhere around ages 8 to 10, it is best for children to be at home in a loving and supportive environment. They found that children who are kept home until they are ready for school quickly catch up with the early starters.
