Publisher's Description of Latin for Children: Primer C DVD & Chant CD (revised 2020)

Latin for Children Primer C is the third and final level in the Latin for Children series. Like Primer A and Primer B before it, Latin for Children Primer C is engaging, incremental, and easy to use.

The Latin for Children Primer C Video & Audio 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 (approximately 20–25 minutes) corresponds to the weekly chapter Latin for Children Primer C and features the chanting and singing of vocabulary, including noun declensions and verb conjugations, and clear grammatical explanations. The audio files feature the teacher and students pronouncing and rhythmically repeating each grammar chart and vocabulary word in the primer—first the Latin, then the English equivalent. These chants are an incredible tool to use for fun memorization and contain all 250+ vocabulary words in both the classical and ecclesiastical pronunciations.

The Latin for Children Primer C Video & Audio is also a valuable tool for the classroom! It can be used as:

  • A helpful resource for Latin teachers to prepare for a lesson
  • A substitute teacher when the regular teacher is away
  • A helpful resource for a student to catch up on a missed lesson
  • A helpful resource for a student to maintain skills or catch up to the class over the summer
  • An addition to a summer school course
  • A library item helpful to the struggling Latin student or the curious parent

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 4th grade to Latin. The series trains students in Latin grammar and vocabulary as well as English derivatives in a lively, interactive way that is perfectly suited to students in the upper-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.

Category Description for Latin for Children

Latin for Children is an engaging program that can help you teach your children Latin effectively, even without having background or experience with Latin. It’s a friendly beginner Latin program for students between 3rd grade and 6th grade. There are 3 levels, A, B, and C, each covering a traditional school year. This is an excellent lead-in to high school Latin.

Primer A (Level 1), Primer B (Level 2) and Primer C (Level 3) are consumable student worktexts.

  • Each primer contains a total of 32 weekly lessons per book
  • Each lesson introduces new vocabulary words alongside a Latin concept, starting with verbs and nouns in the first unit and moving on to linking verbs, adjectives, more verb forms, predicates and nominatives, and a bunch of other concepts
  • Lessons are short at four pages each, except for the periodic reviews which generally have a couple more pages
  • Lessons begin with a vocabulary list, a chant, and then a discussion/explanation of the target concept
  • The last two pages hold a variety of short exercises practicing the grammar concept using the vocabulary words
  • Primers B and C build on the skills learned in Primer A, progressing through more vocabulary words and more advanced grammatical concepts
  • Lessons become longer in the later levels, but they follow the same straight-forward format
  • Each level introduces students to 240 of the most frequently occurring words in an engaging, easy manner with plenty of practice to help them retain what they've learned
  • Helpful glossaries are included in the back of each Primer

The Answer Key contains copies of the student exercises from the Primers, but with answers provided in bold font (includes only the pages with answers). A suggested weekly teaching schedule is also included at the beginning.

Audio Chants help students memorize grammar and vocabulary. All 240 vocabulary words at each level are chanted and sung. Audio CDs are included in the DVD/CD sets (with both classical and ecclesiastical pronunciations).

Digital chants are available in either Classical or Ecclesiastical pronunciation.

Activity Books offer additional practice with crosswords, puzzles, codes, mazes and more.

Libellus de Historia is a Latin History Reader specific to each level and offers a selection of stories about history, which are keyed to the vocabulary and grammar learned at each level. The stories are written in Latin, and each story includes a glossary, notes, and follow-up questions (in Latin). Reader A shares stories from Greek and Roman history, while Reader B covers Medieval history and Reader C covers the Age of Exploration through 1815.

Instructional Videos There are DVD/CD Sets for each level, which show the author teaching the lessons to young students, explaining the grammatical concepts in a clear, easy to understand manner. Boys and girls in the elementary and middle grades perform the chants, while the text from the book is displayed on the screen. This helps your child learn them as well as the correct pronunciation. Each DVD set holds five or more hours of instruction, on 2-3 DVDs.

Test Packets are available as a PDF download. The complete answer keys for the tests are also included. This includes weekly chapter tests, unit tests, and even unit study guides. This license is for 1-3 students and is valid for 1 year.

Clash Cards are available for Levels A and B. Each card contains two vocabulary words on each side of the card (divided into "day" and "night" words), with Latin on one side and the English translation on the other. Each set contains 240 vocabulary words that students can use to quiz themselves, or they can practice their vocabulary skills with other students by playing different variations of the Clash Game (instructions for three levels of play are included).
