Prima Latina Student Book: Introduction to Christian Latin

Prima Latina

by Leigh Lowe

Prima Latina is a preparatory course for Cheryl Lowe's Latina Christiana (Grades K-3). It is intended for teachers with no background in Latin and was developed for children in kindergarten through third grade. The course was designed for students who are still becoming familiar with English grammar. Its goal is to teach and reinforce an understanding of the basic parts of speech while teaching beginner Latin. This provides a solid foundation in grammar before moving on to more advanced language and Latin skills. Prima Latina is an ideal precursor to Latina Christiana, as the vocabulary and format are similar to the Latina Christiana I text. Prima Latina is accompanied by an audio CD which includes pronunciation direction. Latina Christiana I flashcards are an ideal study aid for Prima Latina and a great investment for the parent who intends to use Latina I and II as successor courses.

Excellent first course in Latin. Taught this to my sons (ages 6 and 9). It is not flashy and doesn't have games and colorful pictures, so if you're looking for that move on. If you're looking for a solid comprehensive introduction to Latin, this is it. This is the first of several courses produced by Memoria Press, which is an excellent and reliable content creator and publisher.

Onto Latin level 2...

Nice introduction to Latin for my little ones and my kids loved the songs and prayers. It wasn't just a list of words like most other Latin books for young students. It did a good job teaching grammar concepts and introducing the first declension and conjugation.
