Description

Product Description

Written by Cheryl Lowe (author of the best-selling Latina Christiana), First Form and its sister Latin products have been used by more than 100,000 students across the world to learn Latin! First Form’s grammar-first approach focuses on grammar forms and vocabulary because these are the skills suitable for the grammar stage student. All beginners—regardless of age—are in the grammar stage of learning. Syntax (how to use the grammar) and translation are logic and rhetoric stage skills, respectively, and quickly overwhelm the student unless introduced at a slow, gentle pace and taught for mastery. First Form is the ideal text for all beginners, grades 5 & up, or is a great follow-up to Latina Christiana at any age. Now every school and homeschool can have a truly successful Latin program that creates Latin scholars instead of Latin drop-outs.

Based on twenty years of teaching experience, this revolutionary “grammar-first” series will be your guide as you and your students successfully climb the mountain of Latin Grammar all the way to the top! The uniqueness of the Forms Series lies in two features: (1) Commitment to the trivium model of teaching grammar systematically in order to facilitate retention and understanding, rather than topically, to facilitate translation; and (2) Extensive workbook exercises to ensure skills mastery and rapid recognition of inflected forms

The First Form Latin Complete Set includes:

  • A Student Text, which is small, concise, and unintimidating with 34 two-page lessons on facing, uncluttered pages.
  • An everything-you-could-possibly-need Teacher Manual that includes Student Text inset with answers in color, “Chalk Talk” scripted lessons, recitation schedule, extensive teaching notes, and an “FYI” (For Your Information) section for extra background.
  • A full-size Student Workbook with 4-6 pages of exercises per lesson. These exercises teach concepts through practice and mastery learning.
  • A Quizzes & Tests booklet with reproducible weekly quizzes and unit tests that ensure material is being mastered.
  • A Teacher Key (for Workbook, Quizzes, & Tests) with answers to the workbook and quizzes/tests.
  • Streaming Pronunciation Audio for all vocabulary and grammar forms for each lesson! If you’d like the physical CD instead, you can add it to your set.
  • Digital Flashcards for the vocabulary, Latin sayings, and grammar forms. You will access these flashcards on the Memoria Press App! If you’d like the physical flashcards instead, you can add those to your set.
  • Streaming Instructional Videos with superb explanations by Highlands Latin School teacher Jessica Watson. The videos also include helpful on-screen notes, illustrations, diagrams, recitations, and more! If you’d like the physical DVDs instead, you can add those to your set.

Take this course with a master teacher in a live online class.

    I LOVE THIS LATIN CURRICULUM! From the way concepts are introduced to the worksheets directed toward mastery this curriculum is wonderful! Clear explanations, enough repetition to ensure mastery, but moves at a good pace! I used this last year to teach myself Latin and will be using it this year to teach a class! Thanks MP!

    I wasn’t sure how my daughter would take to learning a new language, and I knew nothing about Latin going into this, but using First Form Latin has been absolutely amazing. The way each lesson is broken down has made learning this language a breeze, and my daughter and I are enjoying learning this language. Thank you MP, for making such an amazing curriculum!

    We absolutely love MP’s Latin Forms. I’ve been using the Form series to learn Latin myself to prepare for when my oldest LO is finally big enough to start the MP curriculum and couldn’t be more happy with it. Since I’m using the program for myself now, rather than a child I’ve been able to move at a rapid pace in learning my grammar forms. My husband studied Latin in both high school and college using a variety of different curriculums and he marvels at how much better I know my Latin grammar forms then he ever did, even after just a few weeks of using the curriculum. Now over a year after beginning First Form he is amazed that the information is still as fresh in my mind as it was when I learned it. MP’s Forms teach mastery of Latin and discipline of the mind. Thank you MP for this and all your wonderful products! We can’t wait for our LOs to be old enough to dive in to all the goodness, truth, and beauty you have to offer!

    For a parent who has never learned or taught Latin, First Form Latin by Memoria Press makes my job easier as a homeschooling mom. The lessons are easy to understand and contained in consumable amounts. The worksheets reinforce the lessons through methodical exercises. I cannot say enough about the value of this curriculum. Thank you, Memoria Press, for putting the learning and teaching of Latin on a reachable shelf!
