sierramv1 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I've been meaning to introduce Latin for a couple of years, and now I have two kiddos "in-school" . What would you suggest for a 2nd & 6th grader. I also have a 4 year old but she's a tornado and probably wouldn't be engaging. Can I get away with one program for both kids?

Mrs.Gregg Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Minimus Latin http://www.cambridge.org/us/education/classics/minimus.htm might be a good fit for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boscopup Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Getting Started With Latin would probably be a good start for both. I imagine you'd have to separate them at some point though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforlatin Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I agree with boscopup that a good book to begin for both kids is GsWL. The author has free audio mp3 files on his website. There is a chance that your 4-year old might be interested and able to follow along. We used this book when DD was about that age, but it was done orally since she wasn't printing all that well back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haiku Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Personally I think they are too different in age for one program. But for your 6th grader I recommend Getting Started With Latin followed by Latin Book One and Latin Book Two, free from their respective Yahoo group sites. My kids are the same age but at different levels in grammatical understanding and trying to keep them together in Spanish has been rather a nightmare.

Happy2BaMom Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 We really like the Big Book of Lively Latin. I started ds on it in 3rd grade & it was fine. You might have to pace the kids differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Corin Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Ecce Romani is secular I believe. I believe Ecce Romani is designed for middle school, isn't it? Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
