Latin Book One has been more challenging for Son1 than Prima Latina, but at a slow and steady pace it's great, and much more interesting. It's so cool to watch him, by the end of the lesson, quickly translating from Latin to English and vice versa.

We do one lesson a week right now. After three lessons I decided to introduce a Latin drill page to start his day. That has helped get his brain doing Latin (and remembering the most recent stuff) before we get to the lesson work for the day.

Son1 turned 11 at Christmastime. Currently he's doing one lesson per week. If he speeds up a bit, I plan fill out the week with Latin games & fun (matching flash cards, Latin Go Fish, maybe make crosswords, maybe try Latin Scrabble or buy Ludere Latine for all kinds of Latin word games), and/or Latin fun reading (Minimus, Lingua Latina, Ecce Romani, Winne Ille Pooh? No idea yet).

If he becomes ready to do more, moving a bit faster still, I'll introduce the next lesson on Friday, or maybe Thursday, and plan a quick review on Monday, while keeping some games or fun reading in the mix.

Incremental creeping toward a faster speed, but not getting out of his challenge-comfort zone, that's my plan!

For summer Latin study I want to use Lingua Latina to read, read, read our way through fun Latin stories a few times a week. Since we stay indoors at least part of our blazing hot Oklahoma afternoons, especially in July and August, perhaps a little fun Latin reading will help Son1 hold onto the Latin he learned this year and be ready to pick up Latin Book One again in the fall.
