Prima Latina: An Introduction to Christian Latin (Classical Trivium Core Series)

Although Cheryl Lowe's Latina Christiana program has been widely hailed for its easy to use format and student friendly layout, some parents asked us for something they could use with their young elementary children. So, we gathered together our years of experience with young Latin scholars and created Prima Latina, an introductory Latin course for students in Kindergarten through 4th Grade. Prima Latina was developed for young children who are still becoming familiar with English grammar and wish to learn Latin at a slower pace. The program provides 25 lessons, each including a grammar skill, 5 vocabulary words with corresponding English derivatives, a practical Latin phrase, and one line of a prayer that is learned in totality over five lessons. The exercises that accompany each lesson are thorough and provide constant review of materials learned throughout the course. After every five lessons, a review chapter summarizes the material covered and provides a keyed test to insure mastery. With grammar lessons appropriate for primary grades and an easy to read two color format, Prima Latina is the perfect choice for those who would like to start Latin early and lay the foundation of a rigorous language arts program. The teacher manual now includes a complete copy of the student book with answers. Read more
