After years of teaching Latin and English in day school and homeschool, Karen Craig has produced one of the easiest, step-by-step approaches to beginning Latin. Each segment explains English grammar first, then the Latin, progressing in clear, short steps. Children have been delighted with the format and clarity of the lessons, as well as the whimsical illustrations. The teacher's edition offers answers, as well as specific guidance and hints for the lessons. Matin Latin I works through the basics of nouns, pronouns, verbs, and adjectives, with simple translation exercises throughout. The appendices offer additional helps and a complete vocabulary glossary for the text.
