Educators & Catholic Homeschool Families
"With its well-structured presentation of the Latin language, the Little Latin Readers series offers an entryway to the great traditions of classical and Christian culture. Catholics need more programs like this one."
"We heartily endorse this Latin program - Little Latin Readers - which is deeply rooted in Catholic culture and the great books thereof including Sacred Scripture, the liturgy and the great authors of the Church and the West. This much-needed program fills a lacuna in Latin studies for Catholic schools and home education."
"The Little Latin Readers series is simply the best program available for young learners of Latin. In terms of content and format, parents and students alike will discover an unparalleled presentation in which to engage the language of Western Civilization."
"The Little Latin Readers are a delightful introduction to Latin for children. The program gives children a real, yet accessible reading experience enhanced by beautiful illustrations that foster comprehension, as well as a lovely variety of grammar practice.”
"Little Latin Readers is an excellent Latin curriculum! It is clear, thorough and keeps young children interested. Right away, they begin learning the beauty of the Vulgate Bible and traditional Latin prayers right along with grammar and vocabulary. Finally, a developmentally sensitive curriculum that teaches Latin in its sacred context!"
"All my girls have taken Latin through our homeschool. I switched to Little Latin readers for my youngest daughter last year. In the summer, I mentioned to my daughter, I may switch to what her sisters did. She was horrified to say the least and refused to use any other Latin Curriculum. My older girls chimed in agreeing that LLR's was something they wished they could have done. My youngest son is in love with LLR's! It is the first thing on his list to do in the morning. I am grateful for such a well thought out and engaging Latin for children. God bless you, Julie and Rob!"
"I am very pleased with "Puella Romana," and grateful to Julie Collorafi for making these series of books. It has a manageable amount to teach in day-by-day teacher plans, with enough review so even slower students can eventually catch on. The short stories in the reader help the students learn through hearing. The Faith is incorporated as well, with prayers and quotes from scripture. After having taught Latin to high school students for many years, I am so happy to have a series I can use with my fifth graders. May God bless the Collorafi family!"
"I love how the Liber Primus uses audio, story telling, copy work to help learn definitions, encourages cursive (great for dyslexia!), history, geography, etc. Comprehensive yet streamlines education as to not overwhelm children and parents with too many subjects/textbooks."
"A wonderful program to learn Latin as well as English grammar together. Easy for all ages and levels of difficulty throughout. After years of trying many programs, this is the best one I have come across for learning Latin. The reader books are a fun way to build on vocabulary and help with understanding the flow of sentence structure. Don’t hesitate to try Little Latin Readers, you won’t be disappointed."
"My six-year-old finished another curriculum's Prima Latina course, and I wanted a more immersive approach. The Puella Romana Primer A set has been an absolute smashing hit! He looks forward to Latin class every day. The workbook and drill book are easy to follow and teach from, while the audio is clear and precise. Any hiccups in establishing my little class have been immediately assisted by Rob and the customer service team. I really can't recommend this curriculum enough."
The textbooks and resources from Little Latin Readers provide a great introduction to Latin. They combine strong grammar, engaging readings, and Catholic content in a clear, easy-to-understand format. They work well for both classroom teaching and homeschooling, offering structure and depth for students at all levels. I am very pleased with the quality, clarity, and faith-filled approach of these materials.
