Editorial Reviews

Review

"This new edition makes a world of difference." -- -- Professor Robert A. Kaster, Princeton University


Product Description

When Professor Frederic M. Wheelock's Latin first appeared in 1956, the reviews extolled its thoroughness, organization, and conciseness; at least one reviewer predicted that the book "might well become the standard text" for introducing students to elementary Latin. Now, more than four decades later, that prediction has certainly proved accurate.

Workbook for Wheelock's Latin is an essential companion to the classic introductory textbook. Designed to supplement the course of study in Wheelock's Latin, 6th Edition, each of the forty chapters in this newly updated edition features:

  • Transformation drills, word and phrase translations, and other exercises designed to test and sharpen the student's skills
  • "Word Power" sections that focus on vocabulary and derivatives
  • Reading comprehension questions and sentences for translation practice
  • Perforated pages for hand-in homework assignments and space for the student's name and date

    2.0 out of 5 stars Caveat emptor!, January 3, 2001
    While Comeau, LaFleur, and HarperCollins emphasize the usefulness of Wheelock's Latin for those learning the language independently, this Workbook does not make it easy for the independent learner. Although the book states that the answer key is available for free not only to educators but to those who verify independent study status, HarperCollins has continually refused my requests, as an independent student of Latin, for the answer key. Therefore, I am left with a book that seems to contain excellent excercises in Latin, but with no way of checking my work. I have had so much trouble obtaining the answer key that I am even considering returning the book. Buyer beware!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Answer key easy to get, April 1, 2005
    By M. Tyson (Florida Panhandle) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    Unlike some other reviewers, I had no trouble getting the answer key. I emailed the site as explained in the book, and within 12 hours, got a response with login and password.

    The book is great. The only problem I have with the Wheelock text is I cannot check my sententiae antinquae (but the extra exercises in the back come with an answer key).

    This workbook is a great supplement to the main text, especially since you can check your own work.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A great aid to later editions of Wheelock, July 7, 2004
    Wheelock is one of the better books to use for learning Latin, both in classroom and private study settings. One of the disadvantages of Wheelock is that more practice assignments are generally needed than come with the standard chapter questions and sentences. This book by Comeau and LaFleur is of assistance here. LaFleur has 'inherited' the Wheelock text, and is responsible for updated editions.

    Comeau and LaFleur follow the same sequence of chapters as does Wheelock, and draw much of the material from the supplementary exercises given by Wheelock in the back of his book. Each chapter's exercises are arranged in four headings - objectives, grammar, drill, and practice sentences. It is in the grammar and drill sections that the real value of this text comes through, given that the practice sentences are already in Wheelock (and the key to them is there).

    This is a real workbook -- fill-in-the-blank-type of formatting make it useful for the student to write directly in the book. These could be scored in class, or (where the key is available) by the student himself or herself. There are no supplemental materials here -- no index, no glossary, no key -- as all of these are in Wheelock, and the book assumes ownership of the Wheelock book already.

    A useful supplement, this book is worth getting for those who wish to master the material in Wheelock more quickly and more completely. There is an online key to the exercises for those who wish the material (registering at the publisher was required for this when I did it).
