Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Ecce Romani series is particularly good for teaching Latin to 7th - 10th graders. The format is "kid-friendly" and provides enough interest to keep most kids motivated to move forward. The lessons are the story of a Roman family - Dad, Mom and son (Marcus) and daughter (Cornelia). The kids have various friends and we get to learn about the activities of their servants (and how the kids annoy them) and the various things the family does on its way to Rome. Each chapter is short - has a good number of new words - and many opportunities to translate. Lessons and activities are included for each chapter (declensions, cases, etc.) as well as interesting facts about Rome, the gods, way of life, etc. The back of the book contains a latin to english and english to latin vocabulary dictionary of words from the book. There is also a pretty decent pronunciation guide and an index indicating where particular grammar concepts can be found.
The series moves at a good pace but older high school students (starting latin in 10th or 11th grade) might find the stories in the first book tedius. If the program is started in 7th or 8th grade, this series is one of the best!
