About
Wheelock's Latin is a college-level introductory Latin textbook first published in 1956 by Frederic M. Wheelock and now in its seventh edition, revised by Richard A. LaFleur. The text covers the full grammar of classical Latin in 40 chapters using passages adapted from Cicero, Virgil, Ovid, and other classical authors. Though written for university classrooms, Wheelock's is commonly used by advanced homeschool students for two to three years of high school Latin, often paired with Workbook for Wheelock's Latin, Thirty-Eight Latin Stories, and companion audio. The tone is secular and philological.
