I am thrilled to share our latest publication with you: Philippus Primary Latin!

It provides a fabulous way to meet the National Curriculum requirements for language study at Key Stage 2:

• Pronunciation is easy
• No specialist knowledge of Latin is required to teach the course, making it ideal for use by both specialists and non-specialists
• English vocabulary is improved through learning derivatives of Latin root words
• It provides a good foundation and hook for the study of Modern Foreign Languages
• It develops a good knowledge of ancient civilisation and its relevance to today’s society, with links to the Key Stage 2 history programme of study
• All abilities and interests are engaged through following the adventures of entertaining characters, with fun and varied activities for learners to take part in
• The flexible format means that it can be used as part of the curriculum, in after-school clubs or even for home study
• Beautiful illustrations are an integral part of the learning experience

Introduce primary school children to Latin. The fun and varied activities let Key Stage 2 children discover that Latin is so much more than a dead language.
