Charts with organized grammar forms are a great visual aid for students learning the Latin grammar. They are also a great aid for teachers during Latin recitations. Memoria Press’ grammar charts are in a clean easy-to-read format that helps students see the organization of the Latin grammar at a quick glance.

First and Second Form together in one package*

First and Second Form Wall Charts are  8.5″ x 11″  size desk charts for individual student use.  These are especially handy for homeschoolers who don’t have wall space for poster-sized charts.

The First Form Latin Flashcards are pre-cut and cover the vocabulary (Latin, lesson number, and any derivative, on one side; English on the other), Latin sayings (Latin and lesson number on one side, English on the other), and grammar forms (cue word and declension or tense name on one side; Latin forms and lesson number on the other).

Written by Cheryl Lowe (author of the best-selling Grammar School Latin), First Form and its sister Latin products have been used by more than 100,000 students across the world to learn Latin! First Form’s grammar-first approach focuses on grammar forms and vocabulary because these are the skills suitable for the grammar stage student. 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 introduced at a slow, gentle pace and taught for mastery. First Form is the ideal text for all beginners, grades 5 and up, or is a great follow-up to Grammar School Latin at any age. Now every school and homeschool can have a truly successful Latin program that creates Latin scholars instead of Latin drop-outs.

Based on twenty years of teaching experience, this revolutionary “grammar-first” series will be your guide as you and your students successfully climb the mountain of Latin Grammar all the way to the top! The uniqueness of the First Form Series lies in two features: (1) Commitment to the trivium model of teaching grammar systematically in order to facilitate retention and understanding, rather than topically, to facilitate translation; and (2) Extensive workbook exercises to ensure skills mastery and rapid recognition of inflected forms.
