About the Book

This is a consolidation volume which leads on from the three-part Ab Initio course but which is equally suited to any pupils - either at the top end of their preparatory school (preparing for public school scholarship examinations) or at pre-GCSE level at secondary school - who have recently covered the major grammatical constructions. Its aim is to improve pupils' fluency in reading continuous Latin prose and their familiarity with the major constructions by the inclusion of these in a narrative context. The manageable size of each passage will allow some classroom time to be devoted to developing elegant translation techniques. The Latin-English sentences which follow each passage reinforce further the major constructions, whilst the challenging English-Latin sentences are intended to stretch the more able. There is no grammatical progression. The exercises in Section Two serve to consolidate the major constructions even further. For each construction there are four Latin-English exercises, progressively increasing in difficulty. A reference grammar and two-way vocabulary are included.
