Pam in MA Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 We have finished two years of Latin, using Latin Prep among other things. We'd like to read some more Latin outside of the textbook so I'm looking for suggestions on Latin Readers. We've also been reading the text in "Ecce Romani." We tried "Harrius Potter" but it's hard going because of so much unfamiliar vocabulary. Any recommendations? Anything involving mythology would be highly popular, or history. . .

Veritaserum Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I've seen Latin translations of Dr. Seuss.... Latin readers would be neat. :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightside Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Winnie Ille Pu (Winnie the Pooh) in Latin would be good for someone with only 2 years of Latin under their belt. *History note, this is the only book in Latin ever to grace the New York Times best seller list** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caitilin Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 CHC has some little Latin readers, but they are very heavily Catholic, so I (obviously! :))don't know whether this would help your family or not. They are pretty good, though, for elementary age kids. Otherwise, I think Richard LaFleur, who edits the Wheelock Latin has something of a higher level, but I haven't looked at it, myself. Happy hunting!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata would be perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Lynx Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata would be perfect! I second this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
