The textbook for this course, Cambridge Latin Course, is by far the most popular in the UK and is used by over 90% of schools teaching Latin. Students will need to purchase a copy of Book V but this will not be used until Session 9. You will be supplied with Powerpoints illustrating each of the Cambridge stages covered in Part IX. Please note that these are copyright materials and should not be passed on to anybody else.
