Does there exist a "handbook" for Latin that I can use for myself?
I'm leading my three girls through LC II and Prima this fall. It's going well so far except that I find myself wanting to know the "whys" behind what they are learning. I want more in depth explanation than the Teacher's Guide offers. Is there a resource that would give me that? Say a handbook or something along those lines?
Thanks!

There's really nothing in
There's really nothing in particular. I'm not even sure what my questions are. Truth be told, I think I'm looking for something that will give me the "big picture" view of Latin without having studied it. Sort of like the Compendium is to the Catholic Catechism. (Since I know you are making your way through the catechism.) Does that make sense?

I'm not sure
if such a thing exists - wish it did! - but it does sound like English Grammar for Students of Latin would be a good bet.
Anyone else have recommendations?

What comes to mind
is English Grammar for Students of Latin. Otherwise, a Latin grammar would give you more information. I keep Henle's Grammar on hand, but there are many others that are more in-depth.
Is there something in particular that you're not finding clearly explained? Folks here might be able to recommend something else if we know more specifics.
Good luck!
