Jenney's Latin questions

[Laurel-in-CA]

I found the first-year student text (copyright 1990, Prentice-Hall) at a used bookstore, and when I looked it up online I found that there are 4 years' worth of textbooks here. Can anyone tell me anything about this program? Likes/dislikes if you're familiar with it? Do you know if there are teacher resources and/or workbooks available?

 

TIA

My dd used it for Landry Academy's Latin 1 last year. It was very good, but there are no teacher editions available (or at least I couldn't find one anywhere). Without that, it would be impossible to use unless you are a Latin expert.

I looked up the publisher's site, which now appears to be Pearson. Here's their page for the Jenney Latin program. Click on "Program Components" in the side bar. 

 

Looks like there's a student text and a workbook for Latin 1, but no TEd. Odd... there is no TEd for Latin 2, either, only for books 3 & 4. (It can be difficult to order a TEd from a publisher's site, but at least you may be able to find out what the isbn is for the workbook (or TEd for years 3 & 4) to go with your student text.

 

ETA: You may be able to find TEds for older editions on bookfinder.  Here's an answer key for the first year workbook,back when it was being published by Allyn & Bacon.  Looks like there may be TEds for the first year text, but you'd have to find the one that matches your student text. 

 

Good luck!

Thank you all. I did find something on this set in Cathy Duffy's reviews. I guess there is a teacher guide for years 1 & 2 but very expensive because it includes audio tapes, which we definitely don't need. I appreciate the link for the workbook answer key, though!~
