Latin at Home

This book is aimed at students in the 4th grade and above, and assumes that their parents/teachers will have had either little or no previous knowledge of Latin. It is a vigorous study of basic Latin concepts, with an eye toward mastery. The student using this text will study vocabulary, first conjugation verbs (principal parts, most active tenses and personal endings), first declension nouns (most cases), and first declension adjectives. The text includes eight sections, each designed to be covered in ten days, with daily worksheets, a quiz and a final test for each section. There is a final exam for the end of the term. Students will practice translating Latin sentences into English, as well as translating English sentences into Latin. The book can easily be extended into a full-year course for younger students by spending a month on each section. The answer key (sold separately) includes answers to every question in the textbook, along with possible alternative translations.
