A yearlong course for students in grades 4-7
This newly revised edition of the teaching video is compatible with previous versions of Latin for Children Primer A text.
Latin for Children Primer A Streaming Video & Audio, now in high-definition, offers chapter-by-chapter video teaching by author Dr. Christopher Perrin. Clear, engaging grammar lessons are given from his cozy classroom, and the memory pages are chanted with motions and songs/chants led by students. Each lesson is 20–25 minutes and corresponds to the weekly chapter in Latin for Children Primer A. It features the chanting and singing of vocabulary, including noun declensions and verb conjugations, and clear grammatical explanations. The audio files capture the teacher and students pronouncing and rhythmically repeating each grammar chart and vocabulary word in the primer—first the Latin, then the English equivalent. The chants are an incredible tool to use for fun memorization and contain all 240 vocabulary words chanted and sung in both the classical and ecclesiastical pronunciations. The new, revised edition of the teaching video & audio will correspond with previous versions of the Latin for Children Primer A text. The streaming option provides the convenience of instant access, as well as desktop, smart TV, and mobile viewing capabilities. For Homeschoolers, streaming access lasts for the life of the product. Returning school customers continue receiving streaming access at no annual cost when student editions are purchased by October 31st.
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.
