NotesFromTheParsonage Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I have two 7th graders and possibly a 5th grader who will be beginning Latin studies this year. I tried Song School Latin last year, but it was too far below their level for them to really stick with it. I was thinking Prima Latina, but then I came across Kraken Latin. Has anyone here tried Kraken Latin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targhee Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I haven’t heard of Kraken Latin but I am pretty sure Prima Latina will also be way below their working level. You might consider GSWL, Lively Latin, Latin Prep, or if you like the Memoria Press stuff First Form Latin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotesFromTheParsonage Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 I was concerned Prima would be way below level, which is why Kraken was appealing. It is specifically for the Logic Stage as a beginner OR continuing on. That it is for both is what is tripping me up. I’m cool with challenging them. But I don’t want to give them something they realistically cannot do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looks like nicely published materials. We have like the logic books from the same publishers. If no one else replies I might consider your confidence with Latin (and English grammar) and decide whether the text and teacher guide are sufficient for you as the teacher. Best wishes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotesFromTheParsonage Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 I think I have settled on starting them on the Latin Primer for now. Maybe we’ll skip to Kraken next year. We’ll see how they do with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
