blondeviolin Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) My daughter has been using Latin Prep I for the last two years. She has made slow, but steady progress. It's not too hard for her, but she drags her feet with the writing portion. And I have to hold her hand to do it. I would like something that pushes drill more (something not me). She'd love it to be a bit more incremental. I really like the look of CAP's programs because they don't look as dry. If I went this route, would I start her with LFC and try and push her through A and B within one year? She's gone over the first three declensions (she's pretty strong with the first two), past imperfect, perfect tense, and past perfect. She has a strong grammar base in English and can translate sentences well within the areas of Latin she has studied (both English to Latin and Latin to English). Or should I place her directly in Latin Alive? I think starting over as it were will be motivating and encouraging, but I don't want it to be too easy. She would prefer the approach to be more incremental/spiral. (Think: Saxon vs Singapore) OR! I could start her with First Form Latin. I am entertaining this one because it is so highly regarded. Is LA just as well done? I don't know that she'd like FFL because it feels like drill and kill and somewhat dry. LA looks more fun...
