ACE Grade 5 Complete Set Paces (1049-1060)

It was very easy to let my son do this program. I have a little girl who is in 1st grade and working with her is easier now that my son can do much of his work on his own. I needed a break from being on him and teaching him using another curriculum that was very intense. This is not as intense at all.

The bad for us was that my son became quite bored after the first 5 or 6 books .

Maybe that is just personality. Over all it is a good program but the child does need to be motivated to do the work on his/her own.  Marie, VA

CAP Latin for Children Basic Set A

When we researched Latin curricula for our classical home school co-op, we appreciated the Latin for Children Primer "A" Bundle for a variety of reasons. The entry-level lessons are designed for students 3rd grade and older (our Latin students range from 4th-12th grade).

The deluxe bundle--which includes a student primer, answer key, history reader, activity book, chant CD and DVD instruction set--aims to equip students with a basic vocabulary and understanding of the grammar and logic of Latin.

The curriculum is appropriate for both a co-op and home school setting. The writers wisely aligned their text with Shurley Grammar's format.

Thanks to the DVD lessons, a parent or teacher can learn alongside students, though ideally the instructor should stay several lessons ahead of the class.

Although academically challenging, this package brings silliness and fun to the rigorous study of Latin through Dr. Perrin's dry humor and whimsical wit, as well as through goofy skits sprinkled throughout the DVD lessons (reminiscent of a family-friendly Monty Python).

That playful spirit likewise romps through the pages of games and puzzles contained in the activity book.

Plan to visit the errata page on the Classical Academic Press website as there are corrections to the text noted there. (These errors can be a burden to the novice teacher, but, fortunately, the editors are quite responsive to
user feedback and diligently post corrections and incorporate changes and corrections in updated editions.) Once there, you will also find many freebies, including downloadable flashcards and worksheets.

In our opinion, the greatest strength of this program is how strongly it appeals to kids--and that's a huge plus when seeking to capture and focus the attention of entry-level Latin students.  Stacey, IL

The Weaver Curriculum - Day By Day, Volume 2

I would like to say that I absolutely love the bible lessons that the Weaver program offers. They are very in depth and I feel like they are giving my children an excellent foundation and life knowledge of the Bible. Even as an adult and Pastor's wife, I feel like I learned a lot myself. I can not say enough about the Bible program. I use other programs for the other subjects but I am ordering the day by day just for the bible lessons. The day by day does make planning each day easy.  Stephanie, GA
