My dd will be 11, 6th grade, when we resume our studies in Aug. after our summer break. I want something she can use fairly independently, perhaps a computer program? I don't want to her to spend an hr. a day doing Latin, maybe 20-30 minutes. Is that realistic? I'd prefer a program, not just a root word workbook. It needs to be very user/child/mom friendly. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Ashley

  • We like LfC as well. Low key, very user friendly, and can be done independently. Grammar is lacking IMO, but it depends on your goals. nt - Patricia in ATL 14:36 Mar 9 (5)
