Description
Don't stop now! Latin for Children Primer B Program, the second in the Latin for Children series, is just as engaging, incremental, and creative as Latin for Children Primer A Program.
The newly recorded Latin for Children Primer B Video & Audio Set, now in high-definition, offers valuable teaching and guidance by author Dr. Christopher Perrin. Each lesson (approximately 20–25 minutes) corresponds to the weekly chapter in Latin for Children Primer B and features the chanting and singing of vocabulary (in both the classical and ecclesiastical pronunciations), including noun declensions and verb conjugations, and clear grammatical explanations. The audio features Latin students pronouncing and rhythmically repeating each vocabulary word and grammar chart in the primer—first the Latin, then the English equivalent. These chants are an incredible tool to use for fun memorization and contain all 240 vocabulary words in both the classical and ecclesiastical pronunciations.
Latin for Children from Classical Academic Press is a friendly, engaging beginner Latin program for Grades 3–6. Using songs, chants, stories, games, and activities, it builds vocabulary, grammar, and cultural understanding in a fun, incremental way.
The program offers three levels (A, B, and C), each a full school year, and serves as an excellent lead-in to high school Latin.
