New First Steps in Latin is the first book in a three-book
series designed specifically for middle or high school students.
The texts employ a minimum of explanation of grammatical
principles, concentrate on essential grammar and morphology and on
the syntax of simple, compound, and complex sentences. The focus on
learning is through numerous examples. The series offers students a
complete graded introduction to Latin and grammar. It can be used
alone, as a main text supplemented by readings and cultural
material, or as a supplementary grammatical work text for a
reading-oriented course.
Each book consists of 30 lessons intended for a year-long course
in Latin. Taken together, the three books form a complete course
for grades 7-9 or 6-8. Vocabulary in the series is based on Cicero,
Vergil, Ovid, and Pliny. After completing New Steps in Latin,
students will be ready to read these or other unaltered Latin
authors.New First Steps (grade 6 or 7): conjugations 1-4, active
and passive voice; declensions 1-5; simple sentences.New Second
