celticmom Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I am planning on starting Latin with dd7 soon. She tends to be a very visual learner. She was very resistant when I tried to use FLL but when I bought some used MCT to review for possible future use she asked if she could look at Grammar Island and promptly read the first 80 pages very happily. We use a Kumon center to supplement our other language arts materials and she is about to start Level C1 which is equivalent to 3rd grade level. I know that she could learn Latin now. I have been looking at Prima Latina and The Big Book of Lively Latin as possible options. Which one of these would be more appealing to a visual learner or is there another option that I have not looked at yet that would be better? It is best if things are spelled out fairly clearly. She does not figure things out from examples very well in the language arts. Dh is dyslexic and I may be as well. crossposted on general forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almondbutterandjelly Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 My visual learner enjoyed Minimus. It has colorful comic strip stories. After a year of Minimus, she was ready for Cambridge Latin 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celticmom Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 Thank you, I will definitely look into Minimus. Is it whole to parts or parts to whole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Whole to parts. My daughter loved Minimus in second grade. It was a perfect taste of Latin.. Don't expect much mastery or retention though... it's more just to introduce kids to Latin, to get a sense about its grammar, learn a little vocabulary, become interested in the language... We enjoyed it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloggermom Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Lively Latin would be great for visual learners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
