"My guys are amazed that the Student Text is so small - they feel like the work is presented in bite-sized pieces that they can take in - there is not too much information presented at one time. ... As I said, I was quite reluctant to change programmes, but I'm glad I did! It is well laid out, presents the information in bite-sized pieces, has a good amount of review and worksheets for each lesson, and explains the grammar and information very well. I think it fits perfectly with the motto as on the cover: 'Docere, Delectare, Movere.'" Linda in Australia
"I am also beta testing First Form Latin, the new middle school Latin program from Memoria Press. It is fabulous. It covers the material of Henle I in a much more systematic way and has lots of drill to master that grammar. The layout is also superior to Henle and will be easier for younger kids. ... It really is an awesome program." Angelina in Louisiana
"We have been enjoying the journey through Latina Christiana I & II and First Form and are looking forward to going through all the Forms using your excellent materials. I investigated several other programs and none were intuitive enough. The DVDs, the games, the songs, the saying, the focus on grammar with less vocabulary, all make it so much easier to teach and learn. Latin is now fun! Thank you so much for developing these courses." - Rez, First Form Group
"I just want to say that Mr. Moore is VERY popular at my house. We use the DVD's, and my son has really responded to Mr. Moore's teaching style. I also took the First Form teacher's class last summer with Mr. Moore. I enjoyed the class a great deal, and it was very helpful to me." - Martha
"I had to share this comment with you. I am a homeschooling mother trying to
teach 3 of my children Latin using First Form. I will admit that I have no
former Latin training, and I struggle GREATLY with any foreign language.
Today, I read, taught myself, and introduced Unit III (and Lesson XIV) to my
children. The explanations for these concepts, including the appendix pages were
AWESOME! I clearly understood everything (including declensions) and
successfully explained it to my sons....
Thank you for making this easy and understandable. I may be able to "get" Latin after all! - Carol
I used First Form for my 4th grader last year and she did not have any trouble with it. She really liked it because it was so clear and well organized.... I hope you like it as much as we did. - Eve
"Glen Moore's delightful sense of humor (in the DVDs) permeates his clear,systematic presentation of the First Form Latin lessons. His optimistic approach to Latin,using a variety of visual techniques, helps cement the Latin grammar in kids' brains. Thanks to Mr. Moore's distinctive teaching style, combined with unrivaled curriculum, I am confident that superabimus Latina!" -

"I tend to want to trust Memoria Press most in all of this simply because I think they have excellent materials and because they provide very cogent articles in support of their position. They seem to be running a very successful school as well." - Brian G.
"We really do like the First Form. It covers the material well and is easy to follow. The grammar is presented in a way that helps the students understand what they have covered and the direction they are heading." - Kathryn
"This is a wonderful course and a FAVORITE under this apple tree! Very well constructed and organized. This is curriculum is for grades 5 and up. You need no previous Latin instruction to teach this course. How great is that? A hallmark of a classical education is taking Latin. I was a bit intimidated when I decided to take on this task. However, Memoria Press made it easy for both teacher and student to begin Latin." - Richelle, Under The Apple Tree
