Using Latin Recitation cards with multiple kids/levels?

[jen1134]

I love the new-ish Latin Recitation cards, but we've run into a problem this year: has anyone figured out a way to use the cards with more than one child when they're in different levels? I have one in FFL and another in SFL so the cards they need to work with overlap.

I haven't gotten those as we're only in LC, but I did end up buying a second set of LC flashcards since my older two are doing Latin together. I think if you've got overlap of materials, in anything, you're going to need one set per kid.

Hmmm. They are divided BEAUTIFULLY into years (FIrst Form, Second Form, etc). I separated all of mine and put them on different binder rings. That way, it's easy to grab the FFL or whichever year I need.

Good afternoon Jen,

Do your two students complete their Latin, or at least their recitation, at the same time of day? If so, you could try replicating HLS' school-wide recitation: All Latin students are gathered together and, at first, all are reciting. As the forms become more advanced, students in lower levels will gradually drop out and silently listen. This exposes all students to the full Latin grammar (or, in your case, the full grammar up through whichever lesson your SFL student is in). Would such a method possibly work in your homeschool?

That might work! Thank you!!
