Latin for Children B is easy to use, incremental, and filled with clear grammatical explanations written to the student. Lessons teach mnemonic aids (songs, chants) that enable students to learn vocabulary and grammar with ease and delight. Guidance is given for both classical and/or ecclesiastical pronunciations. In Primer B, students will learn new grammatical concepts (such as third declension nouns, demonstrative pronouns, and third-conjugation verbs), Latin numbers, and 240 new high-frequency vocabulary words.
Chapters include a memory page with new chant, new vocabulary, and vocabulary review, a story where students have to translate certain phrases and words, grammar activities, translation exercises, and a quiz. Reviews are incorporated throughout, and an end-of-book review is also included.
324 full-color pages with glossary, softcover. Consumable and non-reproducible. The recommended schedule is designed to take 30 minutes per day, five days per week. 32 chapters. Covers one year. Grades 5-7.
Classical Academic Press' award-winning Latin for Children curriculum is a strong, inviting, and creative program designed to introduce students (4th Grade & up) to Latin. It incorporates elements that will engage students of every learning style. When used as a whole, this series trains students in grammar, vocabulary, and English derivatives in a lively, interactive way that is perfectly suited to students in the grammar stage. The Latin for Children series is taught directly to the child and is a perfect choice for teachers and parents, including those who will be learning along with their students.
This new, revised edition is now printed in full color and has been enhanced with beautiful illustrations as well as images and paintings from medieval European culture. A medieval adventure story, Seeking Donum, has also been added. Students will continue to follow Marcus and Julia-this time as they try to escape from a sinking ship and make their way back home to safety through an unknown land full of dangers and surprises. The chapter-by-chapter Latin grammar sequence remains the same as previous versions. There is also a new teaching video DVD to accompany the course (sold-separately).
Please Note: The old editions of the primer and answer key are not compatible with this newly revised edition (though the grammar is taught in the same sequence). The DVD (sold-separately), however, will still work with previous editions of the text. The Activity Book and History Reader (both also sold-separately) are also still compatible with either version.
