which Latin after Lively Latin 1(besides LL2)

[Kim in SouthGa]

Really do not want to do all that printing again. Would one of the Memoria Press books work? other suggestions? for a bright 7th grader.

Thanks

My oldest went from Lively Latin to First Form, no problem. Or you could go ahead and start Henle if you'd rather, for a 7th grader.

[Diviya]

Or you could order Lively Latin already printed? At least, that's what I did for 1. Came in a nice binder...

Although for a bright 7th grader, I think there are better programs out there.

Form series is great. A bright 7th grader could easily tackle a more accelerated pace either (1)Henle book, or (2) do First Form and Second Form in one year. We have successfully used both of these methods in a coop with that age.

First Form is age-appropriate & I've read good things on these forums about it. Some (lots?) have not liked Latina Christiana but have liked the "Forms" series so far. There will eventually be four "Forms." They are Henle I broken into four manageable chunks. You can do a "form" in a year which is recommended for 7th/8th or do two forms per year (recommended for 9th & up).

 

Good luck!

We are going to be using Latin Prep.

We started out the year with First Form. *I* really liked it, but dd didn't at all. I rarely change what I use for her, but I ended up switching to Latin Prep after several months. She's still not a fan of Latin, but LP is working better.

First Form was a flop here. You could look at Latin Alive. I think it's far more engaging.

We'll be starting Latin Prep this fall.

My son hated First Form latin. He is currently using Latin Alive and likes it much better.

Latin Prep would be good. It would go over some of what you have learned in LL, but it ramps up fairly fast. It's available from bookdepository.co.uk (free shipping) or from horriblebooks.com (US distributor).

Oldest is doing Latin Prep (only the books, no video) and Cambridge reader.

 

Latin Alive was our plan, but dd doesn't do well learning from videos. She is a serious reader and also doesn't like super colorful books as she finds them distracting. Latin Prep has very clear instructions and she is doing it all on her own. She reads the teacher book (which has a copy of the student text, so you don't need to buy that), then does the workbook. I bought her the vocab cards for review and I correct all her work with the answer key.

 

Then on Thursday I have her do a passage from the Cambridge text, so it keeps it more fun.
