Along the Latin Road

I really loved Latin Road. I had no real Latin background, and when I looked at the other books they looked SO difficult to even START their programs. Latin Road is written by a homeschool mom who assumes you know nothing — an accurate assumption in my case! I worked two weeks ahead of my kids for the whole year, doing the work before them. The student does copy work, copying off the information in the textbook so they can learn the information slowly as they are writing. Then they do some translating Latin to English and vice versa. Then they do some memorization - FUN memorization, by the way. One Christmas my son Alex led the choir in Adeste Fidelis that we had learned in Latin. I know that Latin Road works. Alex took senior level Latin in college, and he earned A’s for his work. I know that any mom could teach Latin using Latin Road, provided you can convince your student to do all that copy work.

If you need any extra help, you will really appreciate my Gold Care Club, as well as lots of templates and tools that will help you along.

I loved Latin Road, my son Hated it. I agree with Lee, it is the best program around. The biggest problem is it is time intensive for mom which is not always possible to give esp if you have many dc and the amount of writing was over the top for my ds.

Lee,

We absolutely adore The Latin Road. The work is not difficult, the pace is just right, and the copy work is a good way for the information to sink in. I work right along WITH my child, rather than work ahead her. We drill and correct each other which makes it fun for both of us.

I highly recommend this program!
