Although Cheryl Lowe’s
Latina Christiana program has been widely hailed for
its easy to use format and student friendly layout, some parents
wish for a program to use with their young elementary children.
So, the experts at Memoria Press gathered together their years of
experience with young Latin scholars and created Prima
Latina, an introductory Latin course for students in
Kindergarten through 4th Grade.
Prima Latina was
developed for young children who are still becoming familiar with
English grammar and wish to learn Latin at a slower pace. The
program provides 25 lessons, each including a grammar skill, 5
vocabulary words with corresponding English derivatives, a
practical Latin phrase, and one line of a prayer that is learned
in totality over five lessons.
The exercises that accompany each
lesson are thorough and provide constant review of materials
learned throughout the course. After each five lessons, a review
chapter summarizes the material covered and provides a keyed test
to insure mastery. With grammar lessons appropriate for primary
grades and an easy to read two color format, Prima Latina
is the perfect choice for those who would like to start
Latin early and lay the foundation of a rigorous language arts
program.
Prima Latina was written to
transition directly into Latina Christiana, allowing
students to complete an entire Latin sequence without missing
important concepts or vocabulary. Prima Latina is
accompanied by an audio CD which includes pronunciation direction
for each lesson and four beautiful hymns from Lingua Angelica.
Your set will contain the Latina Christiana I
Flashcards which include every word in Prima Latina,
they are an ideal study aid and a great investment for students
who intend to continue on with Latina Christiana
