Latin Prelude IV

The Prelude to Latin series is used to guide teachers and students through basic Latin concepts. It should equip the student with the necessary knowledge in order to achieve competence and even excel in junior high and high school Latin programs. Prelude to Latin is unique in that it requires students to engage not only in basic cognitive skills (memorization) but also in the application of the language. Just as students learn English through reading and writing, so too will they learn Latin through reading and writing. Whereas many Latin Primī ers focus on a contextual memorization, Prelude to Latin forces students not only to develop a large vocabulary but also to use the language through meaningful application. To that end teachers and students will find themselves translating and writing in Latin almost immediately.
