Description:

Memoria Press' First Form Latin ì curriculum was written by Cheryl Lowe, author of the best selling ì Latina Christiana. Mrs. Lowe's simple but effective ì texts have been used by more than 100,000 students across the ì world to learn Latin.

Based on twenty years of teaching experience, this ì revolutionary "grammar-first" series will be your guide ì as you and your students successfully climb the mountain of Latin ì Grammar all the way to the top! The uniqueness of the First ì Form Series lies in two features:

1. It is committed to the trivium model of teaching grammar ì systematically in order to facilitate retention and ì understanding, rather than topically, to facilitate translation. ì
2. Extensive workbook exercises ensure skills mastery and ì rapid recognition of inflected forms.

Features include:

• Designed for students and teachers with no Latin background ì
• 8x8 inch Student Text, small, concise, unintimidating ì with 34 two-page lessons on facing uncluttered pages
• Limited vocabulary of 185 words
• Full-size Student Workbook with 4-6 pages of exercises per ì lesson
• Vocabulary derivatives and detailed explanations of Latin ì sayings

  • Workbook with key
  • Unit tests and lesson quizzes booklet
  • FYI section for extra background

First Form’s grammar-first approach focuses ì on grammar forms and vocabulary because those are the grammar ì stage skills suitable for the grammar stage student. However, ì the First Form Series is for students of all ì ages because all beginners, regardless of age, are in the grammar ì stage of learning. Syntax (how to use the grammar) and ì translation are logic and rhetoric stage skills, respectively, ì and quickly overwhelm the student unless they are introduced at a ì slow, gentle pace and taught for mastery. First Form is ì the ideal text for all beginners, grades 5 & up, or is a ì great follow-up to ì Latina Christiana I at any age. Now every school and ì homeschool can have a truly successful Latin program that creates ì Latin scholars rather than Latin drop-outs.

After mastering First Form, the student will ì have a solid grasp on the six indicative active tenses of the ì first two verb conjugations, five noun declensions, first and ì second declension adjectives, and 185 vocabulary words.
