Second Form Latin continues the journey of Latin grammar. Building on what the student learned the previous year, Second Form reviews all material in First Form, completes the verb paradigms for all four conjugations in the indicative active and passive, and much more! Once they have finished Second Form, students will have crossed the halfway mark on their Latin journey! Second Form employs the identical format of First Form—an attractive, concise Student Text, systematic presentation in five units, extensive Workbook exercises, and a Teacher Manual with everything you need to successfully teach this course.

Based on twenty years of teaching experience, the revolutionary “grammar-first” First Form Series will be your guide as you and your students successfully climb the mountain of Latin Grammar all the way to the top! The uniqueness of the First Form Series lies in two features: (1) Commitment to the trivium model of teaching grammar systematically in order to facilitate retention and understanding, rather than topically, to facilitate translation; and (2) Extensive workbook exercises to ensure skills mastery and rapid recognition of inflected forms.

The 9.5×7 inch First Form Latin Student Text is small, concise, and unintimidating, with 31 two-page lessons on uncluttered facing pages in an attractive two-color format. It offers a systematic presentation of grammar in five logical units and includes appendices with English grammar, prayers, conversational Latin, a vocabulary index, and more.

After finishing Second Form, the student will have mastered:

• Six indicative active and three indicative passive tenses of all four verb conjugations
• Five noun declensions, including -er/-ir nouns and i-stem nouns
• Adjectives in three declensions
• Personal pronouns
• Prepositions
• 365 vocabulary words (185 in First Form, and another 180 new words in Second Form)

NAC‘s simplified strokes and letter forms allow first grade students to truly master beautiful cursive. We have used NAC in our Highlands Latin School, with dramatic results. Every child can master cursive in the first grade, and many of our first graders write better than typical third graders. Learning cursive early ensures that students are not slowed down or frustrated in the upper grades when they are focusing on other subjects, such as grammar and composition.

New American Cursive 1:

• Designed with the first grader in mind
• Unnecessary strokes are eliminated; NAC alphabet has 26 fewer strokes than the top three most common cursive programs
• Letter forms are simplified but retain the classic form for legibility
• NAC natural right slant is easier for beginners and left-handers. If the slant is too far right, it can be difficult for lefties. Writing absolutely vertically is tiring and can slow down the writing.
• NAC program was created to be simple, clear, and effective. It focuses on accuracy and increasing legibility.
• A teaching guide is included. It takes students only twenty minutes of their day to practice in their NAC book.

New American Cursive 2:

• Eight-page Teaching Guide included
• 125 instruction exercises for excellent penmanship development
• Practice pages include Bible verses and character-building quotes
• Simplified alphabet, unnecessary strokes eliminated
• Bound at the top for ease of use by left-handed students
• Clear starting dots and arrow directions
• Blank reproducible practice pages included
