Latin for Children Primer A History Reader

$11.95

  • With the Latin for Children Primer A History Reader, young Latin scholars can begin to translate and read a selection of simple Latin stories at their own level.* The stories are integrated with the grammar and vocabulary of Latin for Children Primer A, correspond with the Veritas Press History Card series, and feature stories of Ancient Greece and Rome. The History Reader contains glosses for new words in each chapter and a full glossary at the end of the book.

    *We recommend starting the Latin for Children Primer A History Reader when students are about halfway through Latin for Children Primer A. This gives beginning students some grammatical framework before beginning to read and translate. See our Support tab above for full schedule recommendations, the answer key, and other product resources.

    Please note: as part of your purchase you will have access to Flash Dash: a fast-paced game that will challenge students’ knowledge of vocabulary as they progress through the book, unit by unit. Available in My Library.

    Designed, revised, and continually sharpened since 2001, the award-winning Latin for Children curriculum continues to be a strong, inviting, and creative program designed to introduce students as young as fourth grade 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.
