Mom2OandE Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 If you've used VL I'd appreciate your thoughts and experiences. I have NO previous Latin experience. I will be using this with my 6th and 5th grader. The 5th grader is dyslexic so he may go slower or I may wait and use it with him later. Thank you for your feedback.

Charlened1974 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 This is our first year, and my 6th grade dd enjoys it. Free workbook pages are provided. We are just watching and discussing this year, and plan to incorporate suggested readings next year. Or later, if we keep moving as slowly as we are now! It really can be as easy or as difficult as you need it to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndOfOrdinary Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 We use the workbook pages with my son as just quick practice. If your children do not have a fairly strong grammar foundation, I would that first. It is not that the Visual Latin requires it, but more that Latin language in general works much smoother with it. My son found the retention from Visual Latin to work well for him since it was based on Bible stories and he knew them already. The approach is extremely gentle compared to many other curriculum and could be heavily sped up if your kids were into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chanley Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 My biggest issue with this curriculum is the number of errors in the answer sheets. Duane is trying to fix them and I point out most of them as we go along. It is a big pain in the butt to have to go over the answer sheets and figure out who was wrong when my kid's worksheet differs from the answer sheet. Just make sure they have the same text.
