Book Reviews of Latin Primer 1 Teacher's Edition
Book Review: Useless as Latin grammar text.
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a dumbed down introduction to Latin and makes too much of the relation of Latin to English. Not worth the purchase price.Book Review: Latin instruction without soul!
Summary: 2 Stars
Having had experience with the Minimus texts, which my children found very engaging, I was sorely dissapointed in the mechanical nature of the Latin Primer. Memorization of grammar and vocabulary are very important at any level of Latin instruction; however, when teaching children it is paramount that they remain interested in the subject. The Latin Primer was pure drudgery, even I dredded the instruction time. Do your children a favor and use the Minimus program, the texts are engaging and the teachers manual is clear enough that my wife, who has no experience with latin, is able to give instruction.Book Review: My kids love Latin!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been teaching my 3 kids and a neighbor with this text. They also greatly enjoy the video series designed to go along with it (by Julia Garfield, avail. at AMAZON). Teacher's edition gives worksheets, quizzes, etc.Book Review: Kids loved -- especially with video
Summary: 4 Stars
I used this for my 3 kids. The Julie Garfield videos & teachers guide (available on Amazon) were especially helpful. We watched the videos daily, which -- although not glitzy -- are of an actual classroom with a very successful teacher. Book Review: Great for Elementary Students
Summary: 4 Stars
We are just finishing Latin Primer 1 for the year. It was our first experience with Latin. We did very well with it and while, yes, it is vocabulary heavy, with some simple noun/verb/adjective/adverb translating, it was enough for a 3rd grader who is still learning English grammar. It wasn't too overwhelming and he's excited with continuing Latin Primer II. The only thing I would change in the Student Edition, is to preprint the weekly quotations on the weekly lists (like in the TE). This fits the Classical Education model it was written for.
