Alex Games, Tower House School (reviewed in JACT) - 21 Sep 2009
The advantages of Latin Prep are numerous. It spans the Common Entrance syllabus. It is graded from Book One to Book Three, happily coinciding with Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the Common Entrance. The text is brightly illustrated, and beginners will appeciate seeing subject in green and object in red.

Thank you for inspiring my three sons to learn - and really like - Latin. The Dragon School recommended the first two books of the Latin Prep series and the boys simply love your books. All three have turned out to be quite good at Latin. Warmest thanks!

Ronda Levine, Brighthub.com - 28 May 2009
Galore Park's Latin Prep series comes highly recommended. Not only is it a fun program, but it is very thorough. If you want to give your students a firm grasp of Latin Grammar and vocabulary, this program is the best around.

Amazon review - 19 Feb 2009
***** Thorough, very thorough This book (series) does what it says on the tin, and does it well. There are some boring Latin books still around - this is not one of them. I used the series very successfully with year 4-6 pupils as part of their preparation for Common Entrance. Would recommend without any reservations.

James Piper, The Dragon School, Oxford - 29 Oct 2008
What prep schools have been waiting for! This is an introduction to Latin embracing the tried and trusted rigour of Wilding - and all carefully tailored for today's child and today's Common Entrance syllabus.

Patricia Tobar-Jackson, Home Schooler, USA - 28 Jan 2008
Latin Prep is the best Latin program for my family. The humor is perfect. The grammar is just enough. The exercises can be silly which makes it fun for the children and takes away the mundane of other programs. My daughter has learned so much and is very confident in her Latin ability. My 9 year old son is in Chapter 4 of Book 1 and having a great time. Today he easily did exercise 4.3 with no help from me and by just looking at them. He got them all correct. Language is not his thing but Latin with this book comes easily. Last year he worked through Latin for Children A and all he learned was some vocabulary. He learned no grammar because it was poorly explained and there was very little in the way of translating sentences. As you can see I cannot recommend Latin Prep enough.

Laura, Home Schooler, USA - 13 Dec 2007
I'm using Latin Prep Book I with my two boys, ages 10 & 12, and we're loving it. We've used other programs before this, but Latin Prep is the most fun while also the most rigorous of the Latin series we've tried. I had six years of Latin in junior and high school, and am so excited to re-learn it with my kids.

Kristian Waite, Caterham School - 27 May 2005
After years of frustration with the Cambridge Latin Course, how great at last to use a course that isn't ashamed to get its teeth into the grammar early. Bright children are reassured by grammar rules, don't mind reciting puella and rego from the word go, and like to know that they're going somewhere. The vast majority of my classes look like they will be sticking with Latin to GCSE and I'm sure it's because they know how much solid ground they have covered in so short a time. The Latin Prep books are ideal to pin the learning around, they pace the work well, and they don't patronise, or shirk the tricky bits!
