Author Description

Read Greek by Friday: Creative Tools for Learning provides crossword puzzles, songs, flowcharts, and memory devices that enhance a student‚s initial encounter with Greek grammar and vocabulary. Although the exercises are entertaining in and of themselves, the ultimate goal of this book is to facilitate a student's development as a reader of Greek texts. Students who have an agreeable, even fun, experience in beginning Greek will be all the more likely to continue work with the language beyond the initial encounter. This book serves as a companion volume to 'Read Greek by Friday: A Beginning Grammar and Exercises'. Brief notations at the beginning of each lesson in that grammar guide an instructor or student to appropriate resources in this affiliated text. However, because they are built upon basic New Testament vocabulary and texts, the creative resources in this book could be used in conjunction with any beginning Greek grammar.
