Latin charts wanted/needed

[Myra]

Hi-
My sons have finished Latina Christiana I and II and are now 1/2 through Cambridge Book I. They are loving the Cambridge style and I have no complaints with that......except I miss my old Latina Christiana charts. You know, charts that show the noun declensions with a sample noun, and verb conjucations that show the verb endings and again with a sample verb in a chart or what my kids call "cheat sheet" version.

For example, in Cambridge we're learning the perfect past tense but only the 3rd person singular and plural for now....but my mind wants to see it in a chart with 1st, 2nd, 3rd singular and plural all listed out for me to learn. (not necessarily for the kids - I trust Cambridge to get around to that just fine!)

So........where can I find something like this?

For quick reference charts:

Wheelock's LatinGrammar Quick (6 durable, coated cards pre-punched for insertion into a notebook) is available from Bolchazy Publishers. They also publish the Graphic Latin Grammar chart.

Sparknotes (Barnes and Noble) carries a laminated Latin grammar chart.

Online, the Latin Library (http://www.thelatinlibrary.com/101/) has Latin grammar handouts that you can print out. (Scroll down to "Grammar Handouts.)

For reference books:

Cambridge publishes a reference grammar: A Student's Latin Grammar. It's by Robin Griffin. This includes the morphology and syntax. This is a book. There are lots of reference grammar books available. Others include: Essential Latin Grammar: Bennett's Latin Grammar Revised by Anne Mahoney, A Latin Grammar by James Morwood, Allen and Greenough's Latin Grammar, Henle's Latin Grammar (the reference grammar), Gildersleeve's Latin Grammar, Essentials of Latin Grammar by W. Michael Wilson, etc.

Of these, the more modern are Griffin, Morwood, Wilson.

Bennett, Allen and Greenough, and Gildersleeve are all over 100 years old, but still in print, probably with more detail than you want.

The Henle reference grammar dates back to the 1940s, but is clear and understandable.

Make sure you get the free downloadable scope and sequence for Cambridge Latin Course: http://www.cambridgelatin.com/scope.html
This lets you know the sequencing of the grammar in the course.

Hope this helps.

Starting on pg 230 of Cambridge unit 1 you should find the verb section of the Language Information supplement (or just look in the back of the book in case yours is different). Not exactly like LC, but useful, nonetheless, once I figured out it was there:001_rolleyes:.

We're in Unit 2 now and using it with Latin Alive!. We find we still refer to the Cambridge whenever we have a question.

Wow! Thanks everyone! I'm learning along with my kids and sometimes I need more help then they do! Ha!
I struggle and they just seem to "get it!" So charts help me as they somehow just seem able to memorize the info! Darn those kids!

And Reese, yup .........it's there and I just didn't find it.....embarassing but glad to have it pointed out to me!

And "latinteach" person...thanks for the info on all the charts. I think I'll try the wheelock one - I think I'll need something laminated for all the reference I need! Ha!
