Latin Road - recommended in TWTM, but not many use it?

[EmilyGF]

I keep getting drawn to this program. My 10-year-old is a rule and grammar lover. He thrives on making notebooks full of rules.

 

Have you used it? What did you think?

Anyone?

I've used this in the past with a child who loved making notebooks.  Your son might really like it because there is a lot of copying and you do make your own reference notebook for Latin.  With a 10 yo I would move at their pace but with that way you described him, it sounds like a perfect fit.  

 

I do think it's not used as much around here now because some of the newer programs have more bells, whistles and less writing.  The newer programs also move a bit slower in the elementary years (I'm thinking of Latina Christiana and Latin for Children, even  First Form) so that they are easier to use with ages below the late middle school/high school years.

We used it and I liked it a lot. I liked it better than Latin for children. We only did one year and only left it b/c we wanted to do French and 2 languages were too many for us.

I haven't used it but I'm considering it. SWB mentioned it in one of her recent WTM conference sessions and that caused me to research it. I think it looks pretty good.

Planning to use it as our only Latin, since we've already got three living languages going.  We'll start in middle school I think as sort of a capstone grammar course.
