Level: 4-7

Description

“French is a widely spoken language. You’ll hear it spoken in France, of course, but also in Switzerland, Belgium, Monaco, and Canada, as well as many African countries, such as Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Tunisia, and Morocco. In fact, French is the native language of, or regularly used in, more than 35 countries around the world!

This classical, beautiful, and widely spoken language will be a treasure for children to learn. There is a distinction, however, between just learning common words and phrases, which is the approach of many French programs, and knowing the language well enough to communicate fluently and accurately. French for Children Primer A (Student Edition) teaches elementary students in grades 4 and up this dynamic language, both classically and creatively, at a time when students soak up language like a sponge. This book employs the pedagogy and structure of our popular Latin for Children series combined with immersion-style dialogues and vocabulary so that the French language will be taught well and thoroughly. The French for Children series emphasizes grammar and the parts of speech as vital tools for correctly speaking and understanding French. The engaging and conversational text also uses lively chants to aid memorization of both grammar and vocabulary.” – Classical Academic Press

Description

“Understandable, engaging, creative, and in-depth, the Greek for Children Primer A Program will introduce your students to Koine Greek. Why Greek? Like Latin, Koine Greek will aid students in critical thinking and help them to develop a strong understanding of grammar. Many English words are derived from ancient Greek, and students will especially see the benefits of learning Greek when studying science and medicine. Last, but hardly least, Koine Greek is the language of the New Testament, and the study of the original language will gradually unveil the richness, depth, and beauty of the New Testament message.” – Classical Academic Press

Latin Primer

Level: k-6

Description

“amateur – amo, I love

Montana – mons, mountain

patriot – patria, native land

spectacular – specto, I look at

mural – murus, wall

These and thousands of other words we use every day keep this “dead” language—a language of kings and poets, of scrolls and secrets—alive. And this means that when we study Latin, we’re not just learning about Rome – we’re learning about ourselves. Rediscover this time-honored language, which led classical education pioneer Dorothy Sayers to declare that “Latin should be begun as early as possible … when the chanting of “Amo, amas, amat” is as ritually agreeable to the feelings as the chanting of “eeny, meeny, miney, moe.”

In Latin Primer 1 Martha Wilson equips elementary school students (grades 3 and up) with a solid foundation in classical Latin. Newly revised and expanded, this text covers the very basics: vocabulary for everyday concepts like farming, sailing, the human body, constellations, and family; verb and noun endings; and other beginning grammar concepts.” – Cannon Press

Lingua Angelica Sets I & II

Level: k-6

Description

“Lingua Angelica is an excellent Christian Latin reading and translation course. The CD contains 4 Latin prayers and 24 Latin hymns, beautifully sung by a six-voice a capella choir.  The Student Book provides facing vocabulary, space for interlinear translation, and grammar word study exercises.  In addition to well-written instructions on how to use the course, the Teacher Manual contains a complete copy of the Student Book with answers, making the teacher’s job easier.  We have also included a song book with the musical scores and short histories for each piece.  All 4 Latin prayers and 12 of the Latin hymns are covered in Lingua Angelica I. (Additional hymns are covered inLingua Angelica II.)

Lingua Angelica introduces your students to translation in a systematic and doable method.  Christian Latin should always be the first step in learning to translate Latin literature because it has shorter, simpler sentences and clearer word structure than classical authors.  Just like you wouldn’t study calculus before you learn algebra, you shouldn’t approach Caesar, Cicero, or Virgil before you conquer Christian Latin.  As Cheryl Lowe put it, “Christian Latin is infinitely easier to read than classical authors, so why would you start anywhere else?”” – Memoria Press

Description

“It helps with vocabulary!” is probably the number one reason for learning Latin. That being the case, it makes sense to use a Latin program that teaches the English derivatives along with the Latin vocabulary and grammar. Welcome to Logos Latin! Written by Julie Garfield, a Latin teacher with 20 years elementary classroom teaching experience, this program contains the chants and grammar (correlated with Shurley English) you would expect in a classical program but there’s more! English derivatives (English words based on Latin roots) are introduced right along with the Latin vocabulary and used as a connection between Latin and English as well as an aid to memorization of the Latin words and their meanings. Everything is tied together by two children Iulius and Iulia who find their way into most lessons in some capacity (i.e. Iulius dormit. Iulia cubat.) as well as enrichment activities particularly designed to keep a young child connected and engaged. This is a well-constructed program with strong, user-friendly teacher support (this means it’s designed for teachers with no Latin background). It’s also a grade-specific program (there will ultimately be six levels). This is advantageous if you are following a classical plan and want an approach that is designed specifically to appeal to a grammar stage student, yet will grow with him in terms of academic challenge as he moves into the logic stage.

The grade-appropriate and stage-specific nature of this program is what sets it apart from others. Both Logos Latin and Latin Primer originate in the same northwest city, and there is a connection between their respective publishers. But, it’s important to note that they are distinct programs and their scope and sequences do not intersect. Logos Latin is designed to introduce 3rd graders to Latin and prepare them for a grade-by-grade progression through Latin grammar and vocabulary, with an eye to first grammar stage and then logic stage learning. Latin Primer has a more generalized approach. While it can be used with students as young as 3rd grade, it is not specifically targeting that audience. The three Latin Primer levels represent a sequence of vocabulary and grammar skills that can be started at any level (e.g. 3rd grade, middle school, even high school).” – Rainbow Resource
