Product Description:
Though intended as a supplement to Wheelock's Latin, this book is well suited for use in any introductory Latin course. All the stories in the book are based on actual Latin literature, with the stories simplified at first and made gradually more complex as the work progresses. Students will learn how classical Latin was really written as they become familiar with the works of the great Latin authors.
Also available:
Rome and Her Kings: Extracts from Livy I - ISBN 0865164509
Latin Readings for Review: Elementary Latin Translation Book - ISBN 0865164037

I purchased this book to provide supplemental exercises for my 11-year-old daughter who is using Wheelock's Third Edition in her homeschool studies. We are a few chapters in (we are using it to keep up with vocabulary and grammar over the summer months) and so far it is very successful. The stories provide just the right level of challenge and she is enjoying having an actual narrative to translate rather than just the list of non sequiter sentences that she is used to from the Wheelock textbook.

The problem I have with the readings in this book is that they are way too short, about 200 words for each chapter of Wheelock. This is enough to illustrate the points covered in each chapter only, not to cultivate an easy, natural reading ability which requires large quantities of not-too-difficult reading material. If each chapter had a 2000 word reading, that would be different. A book like that would be worthwhile. Spend your money on Hans Orberg's, Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata, a skillfully ... Read More

This is a great supplement to Wheelock's Latin and for beginning Latin student's in general. I teach a short 2 hour beginning Latin seminar at festivals and people are able to work in groups and translate the first short story by the end of the class. It is great for their confidence! They are actually reading Latin!
The stories are more fun than those in the textbook and also relate the mythology of the culture. Especially useful when teaching young people, I think this is an excellent resource!

38 Latin stories for Wheelock's Latin has been great for putting the knowledge from the textbook into action. Plus, the stories are pretty interesting too.

No, no, this thing doesn't qualify as a reader. Uh. Uh. Buyer beware on this one.
For the money you can buy oh so much better than this one.
I recommend Lingua Latina Familia Romana as a reader to have a ball with. It is dirt cheap and can be purchased from Angelus Press. It is one of those "soul satisfiers."
"I have yet to grasp Wheelock Chapter One" will have a righteous good time with Familia Romana. I mean "no problem." Those holding steady will really get into it.
