Students begin to develop the ability to comprehend simple written Latin texts based on a variety of topics. The first strand of the Latin Standards of Learning emphasizes interpretation of texts because the focus is on comprehension rather than interpersonal communication. To support the development of reading skills, students learn to use Latin orally, understand oral Latin, and write very simple phrases and sentences. Students also learn about the perspectives, practices, and products of the ancient Romans as reflected in aspects of the daily lives of Roman people. Students compare these cultural and historical elements to their own culture and recognize examples of the influence of Roman civilization in their own world. Through their understanding of the structures and vocabulary of the Latin language, students enhance their understanding of these same linguistic elements of English.
