Mom0012 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) My dd has completed one year of Latin at Lukeion beyond AP Latin. She chose to do the Ovid readings this year and has enjoyed them. Next year, she’d like to continue on her own with a different author. Lukeion offers a year of Cicero and she may just get the Cicero book they use and translate it at home, but since she wants a bit more flexibility than the class offers, we’re also looking at other authors. I’d love suggestions of authors or books that might be of high interest to someone her age. Latin is still probably her favorite subject, so I’d like to find something really engaging. Any suggestions? Edited March 16, 2019 by Mom0012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal_Bear Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Did you know that there's a Latin translation of the first two Harry Potter books? The LIttle Prince, Winnie the Pooh and the Hobbit are also available in Latin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathy in Richmond Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 My daughter went through high school back when there were two AP Latin tests. Her high school years looked like this: grade 9 - Caesar (using Henle 2) grade 10 - AP Vergil grade 11 - AP Literature (Catullus & Cicero) grade 12 - independent study of Ovid and Horace As I recall, she really enjoyed both Ovid & Horace, so maybe your daughter would like Horace, too. She used these texts from Bolchazy Carducci: Horace: Selected Odes and Satire A Horace Workbook 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll see what she thinks of Horace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
