Lectio takes you from your first Latin word to the AP® Latin exam: short lessons that find your level, every passage of Vergil and Pliny with each word glossed, and flashcards that come back just before you forget. START WHERE YOU ARE • A quick level check places you in the course, so you skip what you already know. • A step-by-step course from the first declension to the Aeneid, in short lessons with instant feedback. • A vocabulary track that works through the AP® Latin word list letter by letter, with a test for each part that lets you skip the words you already know. READ THE REAL TEXTS • Every required passage of Vergil's Aeneid and Pliny's Letters, and more, with a glossary on every word. • Highlight in four manuscript colors, add notes, flag hard lines, and read cold with the glossary off, the way the exam gives you the Latin. • Ask about any line: a parse, a construction, the scansion. REMEMBER WHAT YOU LEARN • Spaced-repetition flashcards: each word returns just before you'd forget it. • Words you look up while reading join your deck automatically. • A timed speed round, English derivatives, and a new line of Latin every day. • Review on Apple Watch, and see what's due at a glance with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. PREPARE FOR EXAM DAY • A quiz engine in the exam's style. Filter by author, passage, skill or question type; every answer is explained, and misses come back for review. • Literal translation drills scored in the exam's own segments. • Timed sight reading, a Scansion Lab with 6,500 lines of the Aeneid, and a workshop for all five free-response question types. • Full-length practice exams, and a study plan counted back from exam day. STUDY TOGETHER • Sign in to sync with the Lectio website, so study on your laptop and your phone counts as one. • Join your teacher's classroom with a code to see assignments and the class leaderboard. No account is needed to study, and there are no ads, no tracking and no purchases. AI feedback is optional, asks before it sends anything, and is always labeled. Every Latin text comes from a public-domain edition. AP® is a trademark registered by the College Board, which is not affiliated with, and does not endorse, this product.
