MATIN LATIN SERIES by Karen Craig Matin Latin is early Latin for the faint of heart, designed for those with no Latin background, and builds from English grammar into Latin. Children have been delighted with the format and clarity of the lessons. The teacher's editions offer not only answers but specific guidance and hints for every lesson. The Matin Latin series parallels our bestselling Latin Primer series by Martha Wilson, with both paths leading into our Latin Grammar text. Some parents use both series, others choose one. Where the Primer series focuses more on following the classical trivium model, the Matin Latin series works more like an elementary version of the classic Wheelock’s Latin, focusing on a solid grounding in Latin and English grammar first. Like the Primer series, the Matin Latin series is designed to begin in the third grade.
