Media Reviews
Latin Prep is the best Latin program for my family. The humour is perfect. The grammar is just enough. The exercises can be silly which makes it fun for the children and takes away the mundane of other programs. As you can see I cannot recommend Latin Prep enough. Patricia Tobar-Jackson, Home Schooler, USA I'm using Latin Prep Book I with my two boys, ages 10 and 12, and we're loving it. We've used other programs before this, but Latin Prep is the most fun while also the most rigorous of the Latin series we've tried. I had six years of Latin in junior and high school, and am so excited to re-learn it with my kids. Laura, Home Schooler, USA After years of frustration with the Cambridge Latin Course, how great at last to use a course that isn't ashamed to get its teeth into the grammar early. Bright children are reassured by grammar rules, don't mind reciting puella and rego from the word go, and like to know that they're going somewhere. The vast majority of my classes look like they will be sticking with Latin to GCSE and I'm sure it's because they know how much solid ground they have covered in so short a time. The Latin Prep books are ideal to pin the learning around, they pace the work well, and they don't patronise, or shirk the tricky bits! Kristian Waite, Caterham School What prep schools have been waiting for! This is an introduction to Latin embracing the tried and trusted rigour of Wilding - and all carefully tailored for today's child and today's Common Entrance syllabus. James Piper, The Dragon School, Oxford
