Praise for Workbook for Wheelock's Latin:

The second edition of Workbook for Wheelock's Latin is most welcome.... The authors are to be congratulated for producing a workbook so well integrated with the text. Selectively used, it can enhance student understanding of grammar and provide helpful review material. –Professor William Hyland, St. Norbert College, in Northeast Conference on Foreign Languages Review

The [Workbook's] extra drill would be valuable, especially for less-experienced students, while the vocabulary and comprehension sections would be thought-provoking and engaging even for the more sophisticated ones. –Professor Betty Rose Nagle, Indiana University, in The Classical Outlook
