Classical Workbooks help students to master the books set for GCSE Latin and GCSE Greek, as well as AS and A2. Introduced in 2006, they have quickly become very popular - one student in every three who takes AS Latin now uses a Classical Workbook. (See also Testimonials).
Most students can only read Latin literature very slowly, which can make it boring. The workbook enables them to master the Latin quickly and to read it at normal speed. It does this via the Comprehensible Input method of teaching languages, as proposed by Professor Stephen Krashen. To see how this works, click on the first Youtube link below.
