I have 3 children doing Latin. I am looking for a way to teach some of them together. One is going to be a 9th grader who has completed LCII, a 7th grader completed LCI, and a 5th grader who has only done the vocabulary and prayers of LCI. I can't see myself doing 3 Latin programs. This past school year I did 2, and I found it difficult. Is there a program or a way to teach different levels of Latin?

I'd put them all in Henle Latin. You really only need to complete LCI to move into Henle, so I really think it could be a good option for you.

Your rising 6th grader will need help with the grammar if the only thing they've done is vocab/prayer memorization of LCI, but if I were trying to be efficient and combine, I'd go to Henle and I think it could work well for you!

Using the Memoria Press guide/resources for Henle is a huge help in terms of planning and executing.

Jen,

Henle intimidates me because it's just a book. I really relied on the LC DVD's. Is it hard to teach? I am learning right along with my dc.

Visual Latin is painless and it is pretty immersive (and Dwayne is very funny- my kids repeat Dwayne jokes at dinner). My dd 15 did VL after Henle 1 and even though she skipped the first batch or two she still found lots to chew on. She supplemented it with the Lingua Latina book, which Dwayne gives a schedule for free!

If you have at least one child that has made it through LCI (and you have two!), you shouldn't be teaching Latin AT ALL! I didn't! I got my kids the Memoria Press guide, and let them read through a couple of pages at a time, and we discussed. They could check their own work! My kids preferred Henle over Latina Christiana once they got there, and found it a bit of a relief.

I think he also has a schedule to coordinate his lessons with Henle as well
