jenn- Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 DD is about a month from being done GSWL. I don't know where to go from here. She is a rising 5th grader and we are not religious. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3andme Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Latin Prep from Galore Park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Jo Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Latin Prep has great reviews. For a reading style you could try Cambridge. The author of GSWL has a second course, free and online. Linney's Latin Class, and the book is cheap to purchase or available here. This book is also free, but aimed at ~7th grade. We are just beginning GSWL, but one of these is probably what we will move to, combined with Lingua Latina. HTH, Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber in AUS Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 We are going to go to Latin Prep 1 from Galore Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yslek Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 (edited) Have you looked at the author's recs? He suggests using this book next: http://www.amazon.com/First-Year-Latin-Walter-Gunnison/dp/0979505127/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1276230788&sr=8-3. From the description, it's not religious in nature. (The stated purpose is to prepare students to read Caesar's Gallic Wars.) Linney even has free lectures to go with the book here: http://www.linneyslatinclass.com/index.php. Latin Prep is also a good option. :) ETA: Should've read all of the replies carefully. mtcougar832 already mentioned this. Oops! Edited June 11, 2010 by yslek oops!

jenn- Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 (edited) Thank you for the suggestions. I did not even realize he had a follow up suggestion. Has anyone had experience with First Year Latin, not using his lectures? I noticed he is only halfway through them right now. ETA: Where does one order Latin Prep? I look on Amazon and there appears to be 3 or 4 different things that go along with it (several of which are out of stock).

Amber in AUS Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 You get Latin Prep from Galore Park. But you can order through Book Depository once you know exactly what you want :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grace Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 We are planning on starting Latin Alive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 We used Latin Prep. The problem I had with LP is that there were no assessments, so I had to write my own, which I didn't like. So we switched to Cambridge, which has a completely different philosophy, but with my son's background in Latin grammar, it's fine. And the teacher's materials (including assessments) are complete.

Amy Jo Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I am doing some First Year Latin, but I'm still using the lectures. He is planning to have an answer key available (another teacher is helping I think). I believe with an answer key you would be fine. The nice thing about Linney is he tells you not to worry about XX in the lesson, that it will be explained later. I don't know if that helps you, LOL!

jenn- Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 Thank you everyone for the recommendations. I am still very confused as to which way to go. I thought deciding a math curriculum was fun, that was nothing compared to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
