very pleased

This is just what I needed to have additional sources for students I tutor.

Practice makes perfect with Latin reading skills

Practice reading in Latin while diving into the private and public life of ancient Rome. This reader is a compilation of Latin pieces on topics that first and second year Latin students will find appealing - such as Roman legends, historical figures, famous events, and daily life in ancient Rome - and can be used in conjunction with any textbook series. The table of contents offers not only a list of readings, but outlines what grammar the student should know before attempting to read the passage with confidence and ease. These readings can serve as a contextual grammar review as well as the basis for a paralinguistic lesson. The readings increase in length and difficulty as the student progresses; new grammar is included on odd-numbered pages only so students with high ability or aptitude and teachers who so desire may advance more rapidly by skipping the even numbered pages.
