StartingOver Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I just picked up Wheelock's Latin so I can run through it again. My son is moving really fast through BB LL 1, I think I will use Wheelocks, with my own plan after. Very slowly of course. He is loving Latin. It was extra cool to get it at Barnes and Noble Teachers Appreciation Day, at 25% off. Wooo hoooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Is this your 6 yr old you are thinking about? I can think of a dozen more engaging texts for a 6 yr old. What is it about a college level textbook that you think will work well for him and you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Crown Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Agreeing with Momling; but I think Wheelock's would be a good choice for your own work on Latin. You can get the answer key here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momling Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Ahh -- for you, it's a good idea. For your son, I'd wait until high school aged (or maybe 7th or 8th grade if he turned out to have a masochistic streak)... I used it in college and it was good... but I wouldn't consider it for my own kids any time soon for fear of putting them off Latin forever.

Spy Car Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Loo I am not thinking about it when he is 6. I am refreshing. I can't recommend Dale Grote's supplemental Companion to Wheelock's book more highly. He has a gift as a teacher for knowing where students get stuck or confused in Wheelock's and he straightens it out with great explanations. This is especially valuable for self-study w/o a knowledgebale teacher. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
