Greek for Children, Primer A Teacher (Revised) includes the student pages of the Primer A with answers filled in. Teacher notes at the beginning of the book offer you some guidance, but I suspect most parents will elect to get the instructional videos available either via Online Streaming or on DVD. Both include helpful chants to help students learn the grammar rules. There are reviews, but no tests. You could easily use the reviews as an assessment. 320 pages, not reproducible. ~Sara

Description
Publisher's Description of Greek for Children, Primer A Teacher (Revised)
The teacher’s edition contains the complete student text, answers to exercises, teaching tips, and explanations—all written with the teacher or parent new to Greek in mind. Understandable, engaging, and in-depth, Greek for Children Primer A Revised Edition introduces your students to Koine Greek. Why Greek? Like Latin, Koine Greek aids students in developing critical thinking skills and a strong understanding of grammar. Many English words are derived from ancient Greek, especially in the fields of science and medicine. Koine Greek is the language of the New Testament, and the study of the original language gradually unveils its depth and beauty. This revised edition, with expanded vocabulary, translation practice, and grammar exercises, is the first of three primers which will incrementally guide students into an exploration of the Greek of the New Testament. The 30 chapters include 4 chapters on the Greek alphabet and pronunciation and 6 review chapters. New to the revised edition are 6 segments focusing on different aspects of ancient Greek culture as well as multiple appendices for reference. Clear explanations of grammar, written at the students’ reading level, as well as translation exercises, are integrated into every chapter.
Category Description for Greek for Children
Greek for Children is a program designed to introduce elementary students to Koine {koy-nay} biblical Greek encouraging proficiency through classical methodologies like chants, grammar, and vocabulary. This is not a modern, spoken Greek course. Greek for Children is a user-friendly option for parents with no previous Greek experience. Instruction is clearly delivered in bite-size pieces, reinforced, and reviewed. There will be 3 levels in the future - A, B, and C.
Primer A Student Worktext covers:
- the Greek alphabet
- verbs - present, imperfect, future tenses, "being"
- nouns – 1st and 2nd declension; accusative, dative, and genitive cases
- adjectives - 1st and 2nd declension, sentence patterns, and prepositions
There are 33 lessons, 1 per week, (29 chapter lessons and 4 introductory lessons on the Greek alphabet). Although the alphabet instruction is thorough, the use of the Greek Alphabet Code Cracker by the same publisher is recommended for additional review and repetition.
Each chapter lesson starts with a Memory Page that includes a Bible verse written in Greek with pronunciation and translation, chants, and vocabulary review. The Grammar Page provides instruction and is followed by the Worksheet Page that includes translation, chants, grammar, and derivatives before ending the chapter with a Quiz Page that includes the same. By the way, these "Pages" are usually multiple pages long. Every fourth chapter is review. Although not labeled as appendices, there are reference charts (parts of speech), and glossaries (by chapter and by alphabet) in the back of the text.
The Teacher’s Edition provides all student pages (full size) with answers filled in plus teaching tips and explanations. Here is a sample sequence for teaching a chapter over 5 days.
What makes this course so easy on the parent/teacher is the professionally done video and audio instruction. Available via Online Streaming or as DVDs (five of them, with a Chant CD to remember grammar rules) instruction is lesson by lesson through the course. The format is simple: instructor explaining, using a whiteboard for greater illustration.
To see differences between the older 2017 edition and the new 2025 revised edition, click here. Much of the vocabulary is different in preparation for levels B and C. The text has been expanded to provide more practice. Each chapter now includes at least 10 sentences to translate. Chapter verses have more depth and there are additional grammar exercises.
