1-2 hours per week. Approximately one hour of homework is assigned each week, involving written exercises and conversational practice designed to foster memorization. Some of these exercises will be in the textbooks and others will be designed by the instructor. Parents and learners are encouraged to review homework assignments together using the publisher's Answer Key.Assessment
Learners who continue beyond Introduction to Latin Course I into Courses II and III will be encouraged to enroll for the National Latin Exam, a 40-minute standardized multiple-choice exam that is administered across 8 levels of proficiency. Students can take this exam virtually. NLE results compare the Latin proficiency of each test taker to the results achieved by others taking the same exam around the world. This is a great way for students to document their proficiency for the purposes of building their academic transcripts and high school applications and facilitating further course placementsGrading
This course is ungraded. The instructor engages in continuous informal assessment throughout the class. The class will complete numerous conversational and written activities during the class and for homework. The textbook also contains written quizzes at the end of each chapter.Class Experience
US Grade 5 - 8
Beginner Level
Join me (Dr. Karen Wieland) for an introduction to Latin study! In this class, students use the book Latin For Children—Primer A (Larsen & Perrin, 2017) along with its supplemental materials. Students learn introductory Latin vocabulary and grammar, including verb conjugations and noun declensions, as well as reading in the context of short passages. In this 13 week course (the second of three parts), students work with chapters 11-23 (units III, IV, and V) of the textbook, student workbook, and student reader, with a robust review during the final week of the course. Instructional materials are shared by the instructor using Google Apps and/or a document camera. However, it is important for students to obtain their own copies of the books in the Latin for Children-Primer A collection. These titles are available new from Classical Academic Press. https://classicalacademicpress.com/product/latin-for-children-primer-a-program/
Learning Goals
1. Students will add another 100+ Latin baseboards to the 100+ baseboards they mastered in earlier courses.
3. Student will learn many First and Second Declension adjectives

I am a dedicated and creative literacy specialist and Latin language teacher with 30 years experience working with students of all ages. I have been teaching on the Outschool platform for seven years. In addition to my Introduction to Latin Courses I-IX, I teach a popular course series called Vocabulary Building with Roots and Affixes, which extends through five levels. As a language buff, I’ve studied Italian, Spanish, German, Latin, and a bit of French.
I hold permanent certification from New York State in Reading (grades K-12). I am also a credentialed Wilson Reading System dyslexia practitioner. I have extensive experience with Orton-Gow methods for literacy re/mediation; the foundation for that work was the introductory training I received through the Gow Teacher Training Institute. I taught Orton-Gow (Reconstructive Language) at the Gow School and the Gow School Summer Program for several years. Across the past decade, as a teacher educator and university reading center director, I helped to prepare several hundred reading teachers and literacy specialists in NY and PA.
I completed my undergraduate degree at The Catholic University of America School of Music. My doctoral and master’s degrees were earned at the University at Buffalo School of Education, under the advisement of Dr. Michael W. Kibby, a nationally known literacy diagnostician and scholar. I have presented my research at several national and international conferences, including Literacy Research Association, International Reading Association, and International Dyslexia Association.
