Prima Latina by Cherly Lowe
Prima Latina is a wonderful introductory Latin course for students in kindergarten through fourth grades. It 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. Lessons are thorough and provide consistent review. After each five lessons, a review chapter summarizes the material covered and provides a keyed test to insure mastery. The teacher's guide is clear and easy to use -- you do not have to know Latin in order to teach this program. However, if you wish, you can enjoy the benefits of having an experienced teacher (also the author of this program) teach your children via the DVD set listed below.
After completing Prima Latina, students can transition directly into the next course,
Latina Christiana I.
