Based on the revolutionary\u00a0First Form Latin<\/em>\u00a0series,\u00a0First Form Greek<\/em>\u00a0is\u00a0written for parents and teachers with or without a Greek background.\u00a0Its goal is to present the grammar so logically and so systematically that\u00a0anyone can learn it. At the same time, we have adapted the Latin\u00a0First\u00a0Form Series<\/em>\u00a0to account for the differences between Greek and Latin,\u00a0such as the new alphabet, overlapping sounds, more variation within\u00a0paradigms, and less regularity.\u00a0First Form Greek<\/em>\u00a0overcomes these\u00a0challenges with the addition of weekly vocabulary reviews, more\u00a0frequent recitation, and an \u201cexpanded\u201d dictionary entry for Greek verbs.\n
First Form Greek<\/em>\u00a0teaches ancient Greek. Its general vocabulary and grammar will prepare the student for further study focused on\u00a0the Greek New Testament and Septuagint\u00a0or<\/strong>\u00a0Classical Greek authors like Xenophon and Plato.<\/p>\n
Recommended Prerequisites:<\/strong>\u00a0At least two years of Latin grammar (ideally\u00a0First<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Second Form Latin<\/em>) and the\u00a0Greek\u00a0<\/em>Alphabet Book<\/em>. However, students who are new to Greek may spend additional time in\u00a0Lesson 1 and learn the Greek alphabet that way. Students who have completed these prerequisites (Second Form Latin<\/em>\u00a0and the\u00a0Greek Alphabet Book<\/em>) may begin First Form Greek as early as 6th grade.<\/p>\n
This\u00a0First Form Greek\u00a0Complete Set<\/em>\u00a0includes the following eight items:<\/p>\n
\n
An 9 x 7.5 inch\u00a0Student Text<\/em>, which is small, concise, and unintimidating with 31 two-page lessons on facing, uncluttered pages.<\/li>\n
An everything-you-could-possibly-need\u00a0Teacher Manual<\/em>\u00a0that includes Student Text inset with answers in color, day-by-day lesson plans, weekly recitation schedule, oral drills, and additional notes.<\/li>\n
A full-size\u00a0Student Workbook<\/em>\u00a0with approximately 6 pages of exercises per lesson. These exercises teach concepts through practice and mastery learning in a logical progression spread\u00a0over four days. Also included are blank drill forms and two-page weekly reviews (Leson 4 ff.) of vocabulary, and later, grammar.<\/li>\n
A\u00a0Quizzes & Tests<\/em>\u00a0booklet with reproducible\u00a0weekly quizzes and unit tests that ensure material is being mastered, and a grading rubric for the teacher.<\/li>\n
A\u00a0Teacher Key\u00a0(for Workbook, Quizzes, & Tests)<\/em>\u00a0with answers to the workbook and quizzes\/tests.<\/li>\n
A\u00a0Pronunciation CD<\/em>\u00a0that includes all vocabulary, sayings, and grammar forms for each lesson.<\/li>\n
