diaperjoys Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 We need to choose a lightweight Latin curriculum for our 9yo and 7yo to use this upcoming year. The year will be a transition year for us as we pull all the kiddos out of the classical school they are attending and get going again with homeschooling. We'll be busy establishing new routines and looking for ways to be efficient & productive with our school time. So, while I do want the younger crew to begin Latin, I want it to be lightweight, kinda fun, and not grammar intensive. This will be their first official year with Latin. What suggestions do ya'll have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethel Mertz Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Song School Latin I and II. My DS loved it and SSL is definitely a gentle, fun introduction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I second GSWL (because I've never used the other two) and further suggest that you do it orally and, as soon as it makes sense, add in your own review days working up to every other lesson. Use those days to review vocabulary or work on English to Latin translations using previous lessons. We did this and it kept the length of the lessons to about 20 minutes, no fuss no fluff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALB Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Another vote for Prima Latina. It can easily be done in just a little time each day, and is not grammar heavy. There are just a few vocabulary words each week, normally 5-6. I have a post about it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Mama Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Another GSWL vote. We enjoyed Song School at younger ages, but my kiddos rolled their eyes at it after a certain age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
