Assisting Teachers and Home Educators in Offering a Classical Education
Picta Dicta Latin Primer is a first introduction to reading Latin suitable for either elementary or secondary students. It is a multimedia course, not only with readings and workbook exercises—but videos and app-based exercises as well. Students learn through all four language pathways (reading, writing, speaking, and hearing), which makes it both more enjoyable for them to learn and easier to retain.
Unlike in many Latin courses for younger students, students don't just memorize forms that are disconnected from their meanings--which quickly leads to burn out. Instead, they learn to use all the Latin they learn in meaningful ways. And best of all, after each lesson students are treated to an animated Latin story like it is being read to them straight out of a Latin storybook.
The Picta Dicta Latin Reader series is a collection of grammar-level-based Latin storybooks or readers suitable for students that are working through the Latin Primer Series or another Latin grammar curriculum. What student wouldn't want to read a storybook in Latin? Each reader comes with a complete vocabulary and Picta Dicta's app-based vocabulary and grammar exercises. A level-1 or -2 reader is like a Latin storybook, but with a powerful app to make the vocabulary and grammar of each chapter easy to understand. Level-3, -4, and -5 readers are for more advanced students, but the app-based exercises remove the need to constantly be looking up words.
Picta Dicta's Vocabulary Courses are self-paced, web-app based courses that allow students to learn thousands of words quickly and effectively. Build a huge vocabulary to establish an unparalleled foundation for later study in Latin, English literature, foreign languages, history, and the sciences. Captivate your child's imagination while offering a classical education!
