<i>First Form's </i>grammar first approach focuses on grammar forms and vocabulary because those are the grammar stage skills suitable for the grammar stage student. However, the <i>First Form Series </i>is for students of all ages because all beginners, regardless of age, are in the grammar stage of learning. Syntax (how to use the grammar) and translation are logic and rhetoric stage skills, respectively, and quickly overwhelm the student unless they are introduced at a slow, gentle pace and taught for mastery. <i>First Form </i>is the ideal text for all beginners, grades 5 & up, or is a great followup to <i>Latina Christiana I</i> at any age. Now every school and homeschool can have a truly successful Latin program that creates Latin scholars rather than Latin dropouts After mastering <i>First Form</i>, the student will have a solid grasp on the six indicative active tenses of the first two verb conjugations, five noun declensions, first and second declension adjectives, and 185 vocabulary words.
