The text is very clear in its intention with unit goals, pronunciation guidance, explanations in plain English, and charts. There are consumable worksheets in the book, so each student will need their own text. Helpful appendices include chant charts, a glossary with both Eng-Lat and Lat-Eng, and verb formations. Pages are perforated and NOT reproducible. ~Sara

Publisher's Description of Kraken Latin 3 Student Workbook
Students in the logic stage (grades 6-8) are no longer content just to memorize chants and vocabulary—they are ready to master the systems that make Latin the most approachable of the classical languages, and to dive into the stories that make it the most legendary language.
Kraken Latin 3 contains sixteen grammar lessons on all the uses of the subjunctive, weekly worksheets and readings, English-to-Latin and Latin-to-English glossaries, reference charts for each lesson, fun activities, and much more. As she walks students through important grammar, Natali H. Monnette helps junior high students towards reading "real" Latin by integrating adaptations and translations from the Vulgate, Roman history, fun original stories, and classical myths.
If you're an older student wanting to advance from elementary studies or just to begin the study of Latin, Kraken Latin 3 was written for you.
Kraken Latin 3 was written for logic stage students, whether advancing from elementary studies or beginning Latin for the first time.
