Item Description...

An introductory Latin course for students in kindergarten through fourth grades. 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 each 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. Prima Latina was written to transition directly into Latina Christiana allowing students to complete an entire Latin sequence without missing important concepts or vocabulary. Prima Latina is accompanied by an audio CD which includes pronunciation direction for each lesson and four beautiful hymns from Lingua Angelica.

Nice layout ,,, bad pronunciation  May 6, 2006
After having studied several years of Latin myself, I was determined to start my daughter young [...]. I bought this book on the recommendation of another Homeschool Mom. I like the simplicity in which the lessons are presented, however, the Ecclesiastical pronunciation is horrible! I found myself trying to teach her the Classical pronunciation, but that made filling in the worktext very difficult because a lot of the questions focus on pronunciation. This may seem like a small issue, but if your child will be continuing his/her Latin education into college, he/she will likely have to completely change pronunciation after years of learning. Why not make it easier and learn the standard way first?
 
Good Latin starter for the younger student  Apr 23, 2004
This is a great Latin starter for the younger grades. The pronuciation is ecclesiastical. We are not Catholic, but found the program very useful for learning the inital grammar rules. It is designed for an independent reader, although you can adapt to a non-reader. The lessons are laid out nicely, introducing about 6 words per lesson, in addition to lines from a prayer. The grammar rules are explained simply and a young child can catch on quickly. The words are laid out on the page aesthetically and there are no cartoons or other frills to distract the teacher or the child, like some programs.

I have seen a few other Latin Primers and find this to be one of the better ones for the younger grades.
