kristavws Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 My 7-year old is cruising right through SSL. I do not think, however, that he is ready for LFC A. It seems like LFC A is really a step up from SSL. Does anyone know of a program that would bridge the gap? Thanks, Krista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 That's the million dollar question around here. Some people go with Minimus, but it didn't work for us. We're just taking a break for a little while until she can handle LFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 We went on to LfC, but I've told DD that we're going to just work on the chants and learn a little, and will go back and do the DVD and focus on the grammar later. Depending on when she is when we finish LfC A, we may go on and do the same for B, too. We aren't writing in the book at all, but I do use some of the activity book pages (with sheet protectors over them, because I expect to go back and do them again when we do the grammar part), she plays some of the Headventure games, and I make some special worksheets for her. I also added Minimus so she gets some reading in Latin, and she enjoys substituting the words she knows from SSL and LfC into the Minimus dialogues, but I don't think Minimus by itself has enough vocabulary to keep her happy.

wapiti Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I'll throw in a plug for GSWL, which I'm using with my two 7 y.o.s right now. :) I have them translate the sentences orally, to me, rather than writing them. (I know nothing about LFC.) http://www.gettingstartedwithlatin.com/faq.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa in the UP of MI Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 My current plan is to do Minimus and Prima Latina at the same time in between SSL and LFC A. We'll be doing SSL for the rest of the year so I'm not sure how exactly it will work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristavws Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 I think they could start LFC slowly, with some modifications, but I know this pair will get more out of LFC if they get another year of grammar under their belt first. This is exactly why I would like to wait to start LFC A. My son also does not like to write, and there is quite a bit of writing in LFC A. He is a very young second grader.

kristavws Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 I like Minimus followed by Getting Started with Latin before LFC A. How much writing is required in Minimus? Does it utilize ecclesiastical or classical pronunciation, or can you choose? Thanks! Krista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
