Summary:
When Professor Frederic M. Wheelock's Latin first appeared in 1956, the reviews extolled its thoroughness, organization, and conciseness; at least one reviewer predicted that the book "might well become the standard text" for introducing students to elementary Latin. Now, more than four decades later, that prediction has certainly proved accurate.
Workbook for Wheelock's Latin is an essential companion to the classic introductory textbook. Designed to supplement the course of study in Wheelock's Latin, 6th Edition, each of the forty chapters in this newly updated edition features:
Transformation drills, word and phrase translations, and other exercises designed to test and sharpen the student's skills
"Word Power" sections that focus on vocabulary and derivatives
Reading comprehension questions and sentences for translation practice
Perforated pages for hand-in homework assignments and space for the student's name and date

Requesting the Answer Key for the Workbook
Customer Rating:
I had just purchased the workbook, while holding on to the receipt after all the negatives about requesting the Answer Key for it. I e-mailed my request for the answer key to the publisher at [...] and was sent a easy form to fill out and return back to them with my information. Was pretty much just are you a student, teacher, independent, etc., check here. I received my password and login the next day. It was about a 48 hour turnaround from start to finish. I have not used the book yet, but wanted to let others know that the answer key is easily obtained, and you can also request one for the text as well. The site it takes you to has loads of helpful information. No photocopied pictures here. You can also look at their regular site at [...]. As I get well enough into the workbook, I will post a review of it as well. I just wanted to let those who were interested in getting the materials for their own self-study that the answers (and more) was actually available. Good luck.
CUSTOMER SERVICE AT AMAZON.COM SUCKS!!!
Customer Rating:
The book is not easy to understand.
Amazon.com backordered another order of mine without notifying me. Then, a day after I cancelled my order, they placed a pending charge on my Visa check card, overdrawing my account because I had to buy the book elsewhere. CUSTOMER SERVICE AT AMAZON.COM SUCKS!!!
You don't need this if you have the 6th edition...
Customer Rating:
This is a good workbook, but if you have "Wheelock's 6th edition, revised", you don't need this. Most of the exercises here are repetitions of the "Optional Self-Tutorial Exercises" in the back of the main book. Sometimes they repeat the *exact* same sentence to be translated! I felt a little deceived. But, I got the answer key easily, despite some complains about it here. They sent me the key in the same day.
Everything a teacher might want.
Customer Rating:
The text and this workbook are excellent. You need a live teacher to be successful with this study. The teacher will appreciate this workbook only with thee text it is to accompany. This text and workbook are slightly on the AP side of difficulty but still great for the formative Latin student.
Well worth it
Customer Rating:
Wheelock's Latin is the standard textbook for many beginning latin classes. My son is in 3rd year latin at High School, and the book has been extremely helpful to have at home. I would recommend buying both the textbook and the vocabulary card book at the same time, as it is less expensive that way and very helpful.
