Hey Andrew! Teach Me Some Greek!
If your grammar stage children want to learn koine, or New Testament Greek, Hey Andrew! was written just for them. This series of self-teaching consummable workbooks introduces the Greek alphabet and grammar through a combination of deduction and induction - grammar instruction and natural immersion - while providing plenty of practice, drill, and games designed to help students solidly master a foundational understanding of koine Greek.
Hey Andrew! is really the Saxon Math of classical language curriculua. Each concept in each workbook is introduced incrementally and sequentially, with nothing taken for granted. Each concept is also reviewed again and again, so that important information is not forgotten, but mastered. Hey Andrew! comes as a series of six workbooks and a Reader. For each workbook there are also available flash cards, a teachers answer key (either just the answers, or a workbook key that looks the same as the childs, with the answers filled in), tests and quizzes, and a pronunciation tape. You can order all the helps for each level, or just the workbook. A child can learn Greek with just the workbook, the extras are more for the teachers convenience.
Level One and the Reader teach the Greek alphabet and pronunciation, both for speaking and writing. Level Two reviews Level One and introduces vocabulary. Level Three reviews the previous levels and introduces grammar with noun and verb inflections, and simple translating. Levels Four through Six each reviews the previous levels and incrementally builds on the grammar previously learned, and includes increasing difficulty in translating. A student mastering all the workbooks will be able to embark on a personal study of the Greek New Testament. While even preschool children can begin learning Greek using the Reader, and children in grades 1 through 6 can work through Levels One through Six respectively, any child of any grade - even teens and adults - can also begin in the Reader and work through the series at his own pace.
