Description
Don't stop now! Latin for Children Primer B Program, the second book in the award-winning Latin for Children series, is just as engaging, incremental, and creative as Latin for Children Primer A Program. In Latin for Children Primer B (Student Edition), students will learn new grammar concepts, Latin numbers, and much new vocabulary. Exercises, tests, and a useful reference section are also included. Lessons include a plethora of mnemonic aids (songs, chants) that enable students to learn vocabulary and grammar with ease and delight.
Latin for Children Primer B, now printed in full color, has been enhanced with beautiful illustrations as well as images and paintings from medieval European culture. A medieval adventure story, Seeking Donum, has also been added. Students will continue to follow Marcus and Julia—this time as they try to escape from a sinking ship and make their way back home to safety through an unknown land full of dangers and surprises. The chapter-by-chapter Latin grammar sequence remains the same as previous versions. Students will love studying Latin even more as they use this newly revised and improved edition.
Note: The old editions of the primer and answer key are not compatible with this newly revised edition (though the grammar is taught in the same sequence).
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.
