hopeallgoeswell Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I am looking for a latin reader to use with LfC B this fall with my dd who is 9 yo/4th grade. She used LfC A this past year without the reader. I think adding more translating will help cement rules, etc. for her. I have looked at Lingua Latina. Might that work?

Mommy22alyns Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Do you mean in addition to the LFC reader? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopeallgoeswell Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 I will be skipping the LfC B reader. I see that one lesson each week is translating in the primer. I am hoping to get something where dd can translate a few lines per day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopeallgoeswell Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 What if we switched completely to Latin Prep? I have been reading and that seems to have very good grammar instruction in addition to translating and English derivatives. Ugh! I am so frustrated right now. DD is on lesson 23 of LfC A and has been doing the whole shebang, DVD, workbook, activity book, and cd. She is not picking up on anything but vocabulary. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing the work alongside my son, so I think it helps when he sees how I study to learn the material and how I takle the translations. Then I'm able to point out exactly what I'm doing and he can see how and why we do all the memorization. Of course, we haven't done Latin in a while and when I came across "Cum tacent clamant" in CE2 and pointed it out, he'd completely forgotten it. So we'll be talking more about the difference between short term and long term memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhomemaker Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 There are free worksheets on the website for conjugating verbs and declining nouns. Once we started doing those, I noticed that things made more sense to dd. I don't think I will get the activity book next year. Some of the exercises are fun, but I don't think it does much to cement the information. I will probably find free worksheets or make some myself with B.
