Book Description

1885767463 978-1885767462 January 1, 1999 1
After years of teaching Latin and English in day school and homeschool, Karen Craig has produced one of the easiest, step-by-step approaches to beginning Latin. Each segment explains English grammar first, then the Latin, progressing in clear, short steps. Children have been delighted with the format and clarity of the lessons, as well as the whimsical illustrations.

This text works through the basics of nouns, verbs, adjectives, pronouns, and prepositions, with simple translations throughout. The appendices offer additional exercises, along with a complete glossary for the text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Matin Latin 1, March 23, 2001
By 
Melinda Baker (Lisbon Falls, me United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Matin Latin I: Student (Spiral-bound)
This is a great study. It gives an opportunity to learn your english grammar at the same time. Lessons are clear and short. The vocabulary words total about 125 by the end of the book. We zipped through this, and my son is only 9 years old. He enjoyed the words, pirata, hasta and oppugno, pirate, spear and attack. This teacher's edition and student text, made latin enjoyable.

This review is from: Matin Latin I: Student (Spiral-bound)
This series is particularly well done because it actually teaches kids to think in Latin! The author uses flash cards & picture association rather than just a list of vocabulary words, to help students grasp the meanings. The teacher's Guide even includes songs that help the students remember parts of speech, etc.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, July 28, 2003
This review is from: Matin Latin I: Student (Spiral-bound)
After reading reviews of various Latin curricula for 4th grade, I chose Matin Latin. Unfortunately, it is not a stand alone text. The lessons are not well explained and the worksheets are either too simple or too complex. For example, the first lesson is on nouns and it asks the students to underline the noun in a short english sentence. That was great, but it needed a followup with more complex sentences. The second lesson identifies the five cases in latin. However, it doesn't give any background on what these cases represent or discuss their parallels in english grammar. The student worksheet asks students to write out the cases for several latin words without a good description of how to do it. If you know latin and want to supplement other materials with items from this book, it would probably work. However, if you want to teach your child (or yourself) latin, save your money and buy a copy of Wheelocks.
