ga girl Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I have purchased Henle for my dd this next year. Do I need to supplement or is it a stand alone curriculum? Thank you! Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaNY Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 It is a stand-alone curriculum. However, many use Lingua Latina or Cambridge as supplemental readers. If you do a search for Lingua Latina, you will see many threads on this idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie You may also want to consider some supplementary readers from Bolchazy. They are very appealing. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ga girl Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 So would I buy the entire LL curriculum or are there just readers available? I looked at the website and it was not clear to me what I might need. Nothing said "reader". Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in NC Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 . So would I buy the entire LL curriculum or are there just readers available? I looked at the website and it was not clear to me what I might need. Nothing said "reader". Try this. There is a supplemental book of Latin stories at the top of the page, as well as other beginning Latin readers. On the far left is a list of clickable subjects. You can choose Easy Readers, Intermediate, etc. for some other ideas. If your student is interested in history, mythology, etc., there might be something to suit his Latin level.

Plaid Dad Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 So would I buy the entire LL curriculum or are there just readers available? You could just get Lingua Latina: Familia Romana. (There is a paperback edition as well.) If you are not familiar with Latin yourself, I would also highly recommend Lingua Latina: A College Companion, which will give you vocabulary lists and grammar explanations in English. Most people let their students get a running start in Henle before introducing Lingua Latina. Oerberg does have Latin literature readers available, but the simplest of these assumes the student has already mastered most of the Latin grammar (i.e., all of Familia Romana or Henle I). The Bolchazy texts others have suggested would be a better bet for the first year or two of Latin study. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ga girl Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 My daughter is 12 and has finished PL and 3/4 of LC1. She is sitting in with her brothers on LFCA this year. Which of the Bolchazy readers would be appropriate? Or are the beginners a matter of preferance? Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
