At Classical Academic Press we do not merely create instructional textbooks, we create complete sets
of learning tools designed to make teaching and learning both accessible and delightful. For each
subject we start with a core text: the student book. We then provide several support materials to give
all the aid that a teacher or student could need to feel confident as they master the subject together.
These products are all listed below so that you can see a complete view of the entire curriculum. In
addition, we created an entire website, HeadventureLand.com, which offers free educational games,
videos, and ebooks where students can practice the subject they are learning.
The Student Text: filled with the lessons and exercises that are the students primary
contact with the material. A lively musical CD is a delightful piece of the program and is included
in the back of each student text.
The Teachers Edition: includes the student text, answer keys, teachers notes, and over
40 pages of extra activities keyed to each chapter. Dont reinvent the wheel, let experienced
teachers show you their best approaches and practices to this material.
The DVD Set: we have bodies for a reason and we should take advantage of them in
the learning processthe visual and audio component of our curricula is a tremendous application
of this truth. Learn from the best tutors, and imprint the material with engaging visuals. Using the
intelligence of your ear and eye will make learning vocabulary and other course content natural.
Support your students understanding of the subject material and give yourself time in the week for
other children, planning, and other daily responsibilities.
Flashcards: these bright cards are not only straight flashcards, but games that you can play
traditional card games withmemory, go fish, and others. Who said that rigorous learning
isnt fun?

Good-bye, students!
Salve.
Chapter Lesson
The Latin alphabet is just like our English alphabet except that it is missing one letterW! This means it has twenty-five
letters instead of the twenty-six we have. The letter J is used by those using the ecclesiastical pronunciation of Latin, but
is not used by those using the classical pronunciation of Latin. Those using the classical pronunciation will just use an I in
place of the J! You can hear how the Latin letters are pronounced by studying the pronunciation guide and by listening to
your teacher or the audio CD included with this book.

Chapter Lesson
There are five vowels in the Latin alphabet, just as in the English alphabet. The letter Y is never counted as a vowel in Latin.
The Latin vowels work in the same way that English vowels work, and they even look the same. They make different sounds,
though. You will have to work hard to remember the sounds they make! The more you sing the vowels song and listen to the
audio CD, the easier it will be. You can also chant through the sounds listed below to help you remember them.
A says ah, as in water and also uh as in Dinah.
E says ay, as in they and also eh as in pet.
I says ee, as in machine and also ih as in pin.
O says oh, as in clover and also ah as in pot.
U says oo, as in rude and also uh as in put.

Quid Agis Chant [Track 6(C)/36(E)]
Quid agis?
Chapter Lesson
Did you notice that sometimes it takes fewer words to say something in Latin than in English? That is because of the special
endings on many Latin words. These endings can mean I and you and many other things. The s at the end of the phrase
Quid agis is the part that means you. Endings on Latin words are like secret codes. You have to crack the code to find
the words real meaning.
Discipuli is a word that you learned in lesson one. Im sure you remember that it means students. What if you want to
talk about only one student at a time, though? You have to change the sound at the end of the word. If you are talking about
a girl student, the word is discipula. The vowel a sounds like uh. A boy student is a discipulus. Say the ending so that it
rhymes with fuss! Discipula = girl student. Discipulus = boy student. Are you a discipula or a discipulus?

The Three Little Pigs
Listen for the Latin words and circle them as your magistra or magister reads the story.
Once upon a time, there were three little pigs. When they grew up, they left home to build their own houses. Valete* little pigs!
The first little pig met a man who was carrying a bundle of straw. Salve! said the little pig. Quid est tuum praenomen?
The man answered, Meum praenomen est Bob.
The little pig said, Would you please give me some straw to build a house? So Bob gave him straw and the little pig started
building his house. When he was finished, he heard a knock at the door. Quid est tuum praenomen? he asked.
Meum praenomen est wolf, said the wolf. Quid agis?
Sum optime! said the little pig.
May I come in? asked the wolf. But the little pig knew the wolf was bad, so he said, Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin!
Then I will huff and puff and blow your house in! said the wolf. And he did.
The second little pig met a man who was carrying a load of sticks. Salve! he said. Quid agis?
Sum bene, the man replied.
I would like to have some sticks to build a house, said the little pig. So the man gave him the sticks.
When the little pig finished building the house, guess who knocked on his door? The big bad wolf!
Quid est tuum praenomen? asked the second little pig.
Meum praenomen est wolf.
You cant come in! said the little pig. Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin! Then I will huff and
puff and blow your house in! the wolf said. And he did!
The third little pig wanted a strong house. So, when he met a man who was carrying a load of bricks, he said Salve! Quid agis?
Sum pessime! said the man. These bricks are too heavy for me! Would you like to have some of them? So the third little pig
built his house out of bricks.
Then the big bad wolf came along and knocked on his door. Let me come in, little pig! he said. Not by the hair of my chinnychin-chin! said the little pig.
Then I will huff and puff and blow your house in! said the wolf. And he huffed and he puffed and he huffed and he puffed, but
he could not blow that house in. He went away, and the little pig was safe in his house. Vale, wolf!

Latin!
Latin is a rich, ancient language, and is still very much alive in the modern languages
that we speak today. It plays a vital role training students in grammar, in categorical
thinking about how a language works, in logical reasoning, and greatly expands a
students English vocabulary. Caveat emptor (let the buyer beware), these programs have
made Latin the favorite subject of many students around the nation!
Spanish!
After English, Spanish is arguably the most easily applied second language for
North American students to learn and master. Classical Academic Presss Spanish
curricula are a blend of immersion and grammar-based study. We start with songs
and vocabulary and go on to teach Spanish grammar for conversationfrom
its parts to its wholeso that students will know how to make sentences as well as
recognize them by ear.
Greek!
Greek is one of the mother tongues of the English language, with many English words
having been derived from Greek. Greek is also a perfectly orderly language, ideal to
help us understand the structure of any language. Koine Greek, which is the focus in
our texts, is also the history-rich language of the New Testament.
Logic!
There are several branches of logic, and our three levels of curriculum focus on
teaching informal and formal logic, as well as supplying students with the tools to
create their own logical arguments. Each logic text recognizes that students are living
in the 21st century and applies logical concepts to real-life, and often humorous,
examples. Mastery of logic is a requisite skill for critical thinking in any discipline and
for the classical learning education.
Bible!
If you would like to teach your students the narrative arc of the Bible and show
them how God has been at work in His people since before creation, you will find
Gods Great Covenant to be a unique and excellent Bible curriculum. Taught from a
covenantal and reformed theological perspective, and rooted in Scripture, you will find
this series to be a blessing to your classroom, Sunday School, or family.
Poetry!
If you have ever felt mystified by poetry, this book will lead you step-by-step to an
understanding and love of this branch of literature, guided by a gifted poet and teacher.
This accessible curriculum demystifies the practice of reading a poem slowly and carefully,
introduces students to the elements of poetry (such as imagery and metaphor), and
highlights the historical forms that poems have taken (such as sonnet and open verse).
Learn how absorbing the best words in the best order changes your relationship to ideas.
