 | Excellent! Jan 31, 2006 |
I'll admit, that when I had first decided to teach my children Greek that I was very daunted by the thought of the task that lay before me. How would I do this? I know nothing about Greek! But after looking at A Greek Hupogrammon by Harvey Bluedorn, I feel much more confident...at peace even.
This book is called 'A Beginner's Copybook for the Greek Alphabet', but truly that description does not do this book justice. In this book your child (and you!) will not only learn how to write the Greek alphabet, but you will learn so much more. You will also learn about marks, obsoletes, and and breathers. There is practice for the sounds of each letter, along with vowel combinations. Now before actually seeing this book, just the idea of markings and breathers would have had me nervous. But Mr. Bluedorn has done a phenominal work in the set up of this book. The lessons are done up well in bite sized chunks so as not to overwhelm, and there is review after each 4-6 lessons.
The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 is learning each letter, how to pronouce and write it with reviews. Part 2 is where you'll learn about vowel combinations, diphthongs (proper and improper), and also with a review. Part 3 is called Chrestomathy where the student practices writing phrases in Greek, while learning how to do some beginning translation. The translation even gives numbers superscript to show the English 'word order'. I especially enjoyed learning the Greek number system...I had no idea they used the letters themselves in a certain order, very interesting! The book includes a full answer key in the back.
I highly recommend this book, and will definitely be using it myself when I begin teaching my children (and myself!) beginning Greek. This book corresponds with A Greek Alphabetarion also by Harvey Bluedorn. However, it is also a comprehensive stand alone, or supplement to another beginner's Greek text.

If you are planning on teaching your kids ancient Greek, this copybook will prove very useful. A Greek Hupogrammon is a consumable workbook that gives the beginning student generous practice in writing Ancient Greek words, marks, and sentences. Though designed to correspond with A Greek Alphabetarion (also by Harvey Bluedorn), the Hupogrammon is comprehensive enough to be used alone. However, the two books do compliment each other quite nicely, and the student would gain extra benefit by using them together.
Each exercise in the Hupogrammon begins with an example of a capital and lowercase Greek letter with a corresponding scripture. The student then finds the letter in the sampling, practices writing the letter in a given chart, and concludes the lesson with underlying English letters that have the same sound as the practiced Greek letter. Greek letters are reviewed through a matching exercise, where the Greek phonetic spelling is paired with its corresponding English word. Also included is a section devoted to writing out verses of scripture in Greek (the English translation is conveniently provided).
The material layout is organized, and the bold large type makes this non-threatening and student friendly.
This format works! The Hupogrammon is a very practical way to enhance your child's Greek lessons. Your kids will find this type of copy work fresh, fun and challenging. My 10-year-old son is breezing through this and retaining what he's learning without difficulty. Ancient Greek has suddenly become his favorite subject-I never saw that coming! | | | | An excellent resource for novice students of Greek Nov 12, 2005 |
Designed to correspond with "A Greek Alphabetarion", A Greek Hupogrammon: A Beginner's Copybook for the Greek Alphabet with Pronunciations is a self-instructional, consumable workbook for anyone age 8 to adult who is beginning studies in reading, writing, and speaking the Greek language.
