RainbowSprinkles Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I'm planning on using Song School Latin with my two older children next school year. My dd tried out Prima Latina this year, we got to about lesson 4 and then stopped. Not to be rude, but the teacher on the DVD just annoyed me... it was hard to stand. My question is, will my soon to be 9 year old be too old for this program? If I will have both of them do it, will I need two student books? Ds6 is a beginning reader and doesn't do a lot of writing yet. Thank you for taking the time to respond :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 It depends on your 9yo, really! My 11yo and 9yo love it, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarreymere Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 My seven year old loves it, I think it would be fine for a nine year old. I have only the one book and I am wanting to save it and use it with my three year old so we don't write in it. If you want to write in it you will need two books.

Joyofsixreboot Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Thanks for the question. I'm planning on starting it with my 9 and 7 yo. My 9yo likes silly stuff so I'm hoping it's a gentle intro that sparks their imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwjx2khsmj Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 My 8 year old son hated it when it was his program. He's not a singer. He's learned from it since his sister is working on the program. He does his Prima Latina and she does Song School. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 (edited) I have a 7 year old who loves it also. I intend to reuse it again next year if we finish it this year. I slow down some of the lessons and cover them in two weeks, like the second one which had the vowel sounds and I wanted him to learn those well ;). ETA: I also make my own flash cards and have him match the Latin words to the English words and phrases. I did the same with the vowel sounds also, making flash cards with the vowel and then separate ones with the sounds.

Just Robyn Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 My 8 year old ds (who will be 9 in two weeks) has been doing SSL this year and loves it. His little brothers can't help but learn the songs too. It's a lot of fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
