Category Description for Latin for Children (Gr. 3-5+)
Latin for Children is an engaging program that can help you teach your children Latin effectively, even without having background or experience with Latin. It’s a friendly beginner Latin for students between about 3rd grade and 6th grade. There are 3 levels, A, B, and C, each covering a traditional school year. This is an excellent lead-in to high school Latin.
- Primer A (Level 1), Primer B (Level 2) and Primer C (Level 3) are consumable student worktexts.
- Each with a total of 32 weekly lessons per book.
- Each lesson introduces new vocabulary words alongside a Latin concept, starting with verbs and nouns in the first unit and moving on to linking verbs, adjectives, more verb forms, predicates and nominatives, and a bunch of other concepts.
- Lessons are short at four pages each, except for the periodic reviews which generally have a couple more pages.
- Lessons begin with a vocabulary list, a chant, and then a discussion/explanation of the target concept.
- The last two pages hold a variety of short exercises practicing the grammar concept using the vocabulary words.
- Primers B and C build on the skills learned in Primer A, progressing through more vocabulary words and more advanced grammatical concepts.
- Lessons become longer in the later levels, but they follow the same straight-forward format.
- Each level introduces students to 240 of the most frequently occurring words in an engaging, easy manner with plenty of practice to help them retain what they've learned.
- Helpful glossaries are included in the back of each Primer.
- The Answer Key contains copies of the student exercises from the Primers, but with answers provided in bold font (includes only the pages with answers). A suggested weekly teaching schedule is also included at the beginning.
- Audio Chants help students memorize grammar and vocabulary. All 240 vocabulary words at each level are chanted and sung. Audio CDs are included in the DVD/CD sets (with both classical and ecclesiastical pronunciations).
- Digital chants are available in either Classical or Ecclesiastical pronunciation.
- Activity Books offer additional practice with crosswords, puzzles, codes, mazes and more.
- Libellus de Historia is a Latin History Reader specific to each level and offers a selection of stories about history, which are keyed to the vocabulary and grammar learned at each level. The stories are written in Latin, and each story includes a glossary, notes, and follow-up questions (in Latin). Reader A shares stories from Greek and Roman history, while Reader B covers Medieval history and Reader C covers the Age of Exploration through 1815.
- Instructional Videos There are DVD/CD Sets for each level, which show the author teaching the lessons to young students, explaining the grammatical concepts in a clear, easy to understand manner. Boys and girls in the elementary and middle grades perform the chants, while the text from the book is displayed on the screen. This helps your child learn them as well as the correct pronunciation. Each DVD set holds five or more hours of instruction, on 2-3 DVDs.
- Test Packets are available as a PDF download. The complete answer keys for the tests are also included. This includes weekly chapter tests, unit tests, and even unit study guides. This license is for 1-3 students and is valid for 1 year.
- Clash Cards are available for Levels A and B. Each card contains two vocabulary words on each side of the card (divided into "day" and "night" words), with Latin on one side and the English translation on the other. Each set contains 240 vocabulary words that students can use to quiz themselves, or they can practice their vocabulary skills with other students by playing different variations of the Clash Game (instructions for three levels of play are included).
