I love this article. I am passionate about schooling my three children as individuals and I love how you incorporated your children’s seperate learning styles and modalities in choosing their Latin curriculum. We currently use Prima Latina and Latina Christiana but I have one child that would problably enjoy Latin for Children more. I need to further investigate that idea!
Thank you for your thoughtful review.

This is a great review in that you point out the different needs of individual children. As for us, we have used both curriculum choices you’ve featured and hands down prefer Latin for Children. My daughter has done exceptionally well with LFC and so we will stick with it. She started out with LC, but was getting pretty bored. Once we switched to LFC she began to soar through her lessons. I’m confident that my daughter is gaining a greater mastery of English and will find it much easier to learn Spanish and other foreign languages later on because she has had such a positive learning experience with LFC.

Thanks so much for that review. On a homeschooling forum I frequent, finding a Latin curriculum is a hot topic. I will be sure to direct them here. I have been kinda steering clear of Latin because I didn’t know where to begin…thanks!

Wonderful review! I’m currently reviewing Latin for Children, but only have the book. After reading your review, I’m realizing that the DVD would go a long way in helping both me and my children “get” it better.

Excellent review comparing two latin programs. We selected Latin for Children and have been very happy with it. My daughter needed the DVD that she could watch more than once, the kids that she drills with, and the humor. It is now one of her favorite subjects! I’m using Song School Latin with my second grader (also by Classical Academic Press) just to give her a fun head start. She feels so grown up and it is a joy to hear her go around the house singing songs such as “Salve”.

Thank you for the excellent information.
I have just begun exploring Latin as a curriculum addition for next year and this is very helpful.
