8filltheheart Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I am a little confused by which would be next in the sequence. I am looking for a Latin 2 high school credit. Ds finished LP 1 and will be finished with 2 before the end of this yr. Do I follow with Latin Prep 3 or SYRWTL Latin 3? Or should I switch to a more traditional Latin text? (though I am not sure I want to do that b/c he LOVES LP) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in MA Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 We followed the same path. After Latin Prep 2 you go into SYRWTL 2. A few things might be review but by and large it's new material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I had thought it was 3, but I have started and stopped Latin so many times, there is NO WAY I'm trusting anything I think. This ds......he LOVES Latin and plans on going through AP. (Not sure where he actually came from. :lol:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula in PA Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Laura Corin had said the author recommended doing Latin Prep through book 3, then moving to SYRWTL Latin book 3, which goes farther than LP3. After that sequence, they are supposed to ready for original works. I don't see why Pam's path wouldn't work just as well, though. It would achieve the same objective, especially for an older student. Edited February 10, 2011 by Paula in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 The sequence that was recommended to me by the publisher was LP1, LP2 and LP3 followed by SY 3 then on to original texts. Some people have found it better to add in extra consolidation by doing LP1, LP2, SY2, LP3, SY3. FWIW, we did LP1, LP2 then LP3, but we did find LP3 tough and had to repeat some sections. Doing SY2 first might have been better for us. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8filltheheart Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Thank you Ladies. Does it take a full yr to work through SL2? They will have had no problem getting through both LP 1 & 2 this yr. I'm going to go ahead and order SY2. I am just wondering if SL is meant for a whole yr or if he could work through SL2 and LP 3 in 1 if he wants to take an AP 12th? I don't know anyone using these texts. Everyone I know has used either Henle or Wheelock or Artes Latinae. But they added Latin to their schedule on their own (seriously!!) and they both love it. He really wants to take an AP, so I am just flying blind as how to get there. I know dd (only in 6th) will be able to make it that far (not that she cares!). It is ds I am worried about. Thank you for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SY2 would be a full year's work for someone coming from SY1, but if you have done LP2 already, I would guess that you would move faster.

I'm enjoying it, too, but she LOVES it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Thanks Laura. We now have a plan. (fwiw......he was on GP's website and now he wants to add Greek in, too! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 OT: I just received LP1 in the mail, & wow, it's skinny. I thought it was meant to be a full year text, but, uh... 10ch...? I've looked through it; they're dense (but skinny!) chapters. Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found each book to be a full year. There is a lot of material covered even though at first glance it doesn't look like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then...well, I needed some affirmation that I wasn't...too lame in my Latin plans. :lol: I've got the workbooks to go w/ it, & yeah, it's dense, & the way it's written inspires tons of extra work--ds will love that. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
