Publisher's Description of Latin Alive Book 1 Set (Revised) with Streaming Video
Latin is an elegant and ancient language that has been studied for many generations. It is also quite alive in our culture and in the languages we speak today. You will be surprised at what you learn in each new chapter of Latin Alive! Book.
 As the first text in a 3-year series, it is a rigorous and thorough introduction to this great language that is designed to engage the upper-school (middle and high school) student. Brimming with relevant facts and stories, this text offers something for everyone.

Please note: as part of your purchase you will have access to Flash Dash: a fast-paced game that will challenge students’ knowledge of vocabulary as they progress through the book, unit by unit. Available in My Library.

Full program includes:

Latin Alive! Book 1 Student Edition

  • Thorough grammar explanations, including all 5 noun declensions and cases; all verb conjugations; irregular verbs; and various pronouns, adjectives, and adverbs
  • A variety of multidisciplinary exercises to engage students in active learning, including parsing, fill in the blank, translation, oral Latin discussion, drawing, games, and more.
  • Substantial Latin readings on the history of the Roman Republic
  • Ancillary lessons that include derivative detectives, culture corners, Latin in science and more, as well as a study of our US state seals and their Latin mottoes

Latin Alive! Book 1 Streaming Video
  • Author Karen Moore brings more than 20 years of Latin teaching experience in the classroom to the Latin Alive! Book 1 Video, which features her careful and engaging teaching. Each weekly lesson is 30 minutes long, totaling more than 15 hours of training. This video is highly recommended for all educational settings. It can be used as helpful training for Latin teachers, a substitute when the regular teacher is away, an effective aid for new students, or for students needing extra review. The audio recordings feature the unit review Latin readings so that students can practice proper pronunciation and accent.
Category Description for Latin Alive!

Latin Alive! is a middle school (and early high school) Latin program from Classical Academic Press made for beginners. There will be 3 levels when the revision is complete, each a full school year of study. Chapters are grouped into 5 units, with each unit ending with a reading portion that includes some history of ancient Rome and the world affected by Rome. Students love this part!

The revision largely changed how the content is presented. It now has a less intense, more enjoyable pacing. Parents/teachers have the option to extend exercises or use them in a simpler form. The older and new editions are not compatible. It is important to note that Latin Alive! when done with the additional practice prepares students for both the National Latin Exam and an Advanced Placement Latin course.

Students learn the basics, including classical pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, translating, speaking, and Roman culture and history (in English). Unit review chapters resemble the format of the reading comprehension portion of the National Latin Exam and the multiple-choice section of the AP Latin exam.

Each student will need a consumable Student Edition. You will find classical pronunciation, a complete glossary of vocabulary words, grammar lessons & exercises, sentence translation, multi-sensory exercises, chapter readings, unit reviews, reading helps, historical context, and bonus material. Helpful appendices add convenient references for the student. These are not reproducible.

Whether you are teaching a co-op, classroom, or a student at home, you will need the Teacher Edition*. This includes student pages with answers filled in, a pacing guide to complete a chapter over 8 instructional days (32 weeks), and helpful tips to make you feel more confident as the teacher.

*Assessments (chapter quizzes) are not in the Teacher’s Edition. A Quiz Packet can be purchased separately from www.classicalacademicpress.com . The downloadable packet includes a weekly quiz for each chapter, complete scoring key, and suggested scoring.

Streaming Videos offer weekly 30-minute video lessons with author, Karen Moore. Not only does this help the parent who may not be solid in Latin, but it guides the students in correct pronunciation. You will receive an email with access to these videos. Access is for the life of the product.

Topics covered include:

Book 1: all 5 declensions, present/imperfect/future/perfect/future perfect tense, personal pronouns, roman numerals, nominative/vocative/accusative/genitive/ablative case, interrogative sentences, appositives, irregular verbs, The Trojan War, Descendants of Aeneas, Death of Caesar, and more!

Book 2: thorough review of grammar in Book 1, dative/locative case, comparisons, adverbs, time expressions, irregular verbs, mood, negative, voice, indicatives, pluperfect and future perfect, review of sentence patterns, In Catilinam, Caesar’s Eulogy, Battle of Actinum, Pax Romana, Claudius, and more!

  • Some chapter readings have been shortened
  • More, and longer exercises to practice grammar and reading added (to be used at the teacher’s discretion)
