Aelia Gets Dressed

Want to introduce your child to Latin, but aren't sure where to begin? Aelia makes starting Latin as simple as storytime.

Aelia Gets Dressed is a gentle Latin-English early reader created for young children, families, and beginning Latin learners. No prior Latin knowledge is required. Short sentences, repeated vocabulary, simple illustrations, and supportive word groups help children become familiar with Latin naturally, without turning storytime into a grammar lesson.

Aelia wants to go outside and play. First, she has to get dressed! But when Aelia finds one red shoe, the other is nowhere to be found. Where could it be?

Follow Aelia as she gets dressed and searches for her missing shoe, with a little help from an unexpected hiding place. Young readers can enjoy the story in English, follow along with the Latin, use the word groups for extra support, or cover one section and practice reading independently.

Inside you'll find:

• simple English and Classical Latin text
• repeated vocabulary and sentence patterns
• word groups that help readers follow Latin structure
• a beginner-friendly pronunciation guide
• an alphabetical Latin glossary
• a picture glossary for young learners

Perfect as a read-aloud, an early English reader, a child's first introduction to Latin, or a gentle supplement to a beginning Latin curriculum.

Aelia Gets Dressed is part of the Aelia First Latin Stories series from Poppy & Pine Studio.
