Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Does anyone have any experience with this program? I know someone was mentioning using it with their kids this year. If so, how are you liking the program and do you feel it is covering grammar for you? We're using LCI this year and a separate grammar program. I'm looking to combine the two if possible.

Thanks and blessings,
Lisa

I am using it for ds 12. We used LC last year but didn't get all the way through it. Ds didn't like the teacher's voice on the CD and I felt like it focused mostly on vocabulary alone. I had some high school Latin experience but had forgotten most of it; however, it came back quickly.

LREG is very comprehensive and is laid out completely for the teacher. If I'd not had Latin experience, I probably would have sprung for the teaching DVD's but I've had no need for anything other than the teacher's manual myself. They recommend the teacher work ahead of the student, at least a few days but preferably a week or more. So far I've just read through each Chapter before beginning to teach it, and they have lesson plans laid out for each chapter to last 8 to 11 days, depending on which one. She gives you the vocabulary cards all done, and exactly how to do the notebook, etc. The student is to copy all the lesson work into their notebooks, lots of charts and vocab, etc. but I've always felt that writing something out reinforces it in your mind, vs. just reading over it.
We are just finishing up the second chapter and so far ds likes it a lot better, as I do. Oh, and the pronunciation CD's don't bug him either!
He's definitely getting the grammar down, too (English as well as Latin - it compares and contrasts both)
