The combined approach proposed by the authors does seem to be the best way for students to acquire a reading knowledge of Latin. I also like that the story is carried out through the book. This eclectic approach is what I've been looking for. Dr. Thomas H. Dinsmore, University of Cincinnati - Clermont College It is a new, creative approach, building on a tradition of good insights and based on a searching examination of the pedagogical issues relevant to college learners. Claude Pavur, Saint Louis University I wholeheartedly agree with the authors' stated goals. A book that takes some of the supporting frame of the reading method, makes it "age-appropriate", and combines it with efficient grammar study could replace both the grammar- and the reading-approach textbooks. Dorota Dutsch, University of California, Santa Barbara The qualities that Professors Kitchell and Sienkewicz are attempting to bring together into a single college text are very welcome as an alternative to the current choices. James M. Brehany, Trivium School
Designed to bring students to the point where they can read Latin fluently, "DISCE! "combines the best of both the grammar approach and reading method. An original, unified story provides controlled introduction to vocabulary and grammar in context while also utilizing orderly and clear grammar explanations in every chapter. It thus combines the grammar approach and the reading-based approach. The guiding principle throughout is what is best for the student and for the particular concepts being studied at any given moment. Additionally, Disce! weaves culture throughout the text, and stresses the role of Classical culture in the modern world by the many links drawn between Latin and modern languages, and between Roman practices and modern culture. Disce! is also the first text to be supported by MyLatinLab, providing the most modern course management and online support to a Classical language. "DISCE! "is for use in introductory Latin programs and is suitable for both high school and college students. 0205997031 / 9780205997039 Disce!
