Latin & Greek for curious kids · Grades 3–8

One page a day.
A classical mind for life.

Daily Latin morning work that takes about ten minutes. Kids learn to read Latin aloud, build vocabulary, and discover the Latin hiding inside hundreds of English words. Every page brings back what they learned before, so it sticks.

Festīnā lentē. “Make haste slowly.” A little every day goes a long way.

How it works

Built the way memory actually works

Most workbooks teach a skill once and move on. These pages use spaced practice: a new idea today, then quick review tomorrow, a few days later, and again a week later.

I

One page, every day

180 daily pages, a full school year. Each page has one short lesson, hands-on practice, and handwriting lines. No prep for parents or teachers.

II

Spiral review, built in

Every page ends with a review box that pulls back earlier lessons on a schedule, so nothing gets learned once and forgotten.

III

No Latin needed for you

Uses classical pronunciation, the system taught in most university Latin courses. Long vowels are marked and every word has a say-it guide.

Workbooks and readers that fit together

The reading-passage books use only words kids have already practiced in the workbook, so reading Latin feels like a reward, not a struggle.
