About this title

Review:

I love Latina Mythica!! It's great for first years. The vocab is on the corresponding pages, so you don't have to go through and keep flipping to the back. The beginning stories are definitely on a level which is accessible for them and they are enjoyable. Good brief intro to mythology in Latin. The kids (even my high schoolers) enjoy reading the myths. They groan at the Latin, but really enjoy the topic. It's also great for comparisons-I teach at a Catholic school, so when we did the chapters with the creation story we talked about the bible's creation story.

I also have to admit I sit and read the stories myself. We aren't very far into the book, so just how difficult it gets I'm not sure-but what I have used of it, I really enjoy. I have my kids do the grammar and reading questions as well to keep them a little more on task. --Kathy Conklin, Latin-bestpractices Yahoo! group
