Hello, for these age ranges,
Prima Latina is far too elementary; it was written for 1st-3rd grade use.
First Form would be appropriate, especially for the younger 2. In my opinion the
Form series moves far too slowly. Don't be afraid to move more quickly through them. The 11th grader could use 1st Form with the other two, BUT...
If your 11th grader is motivated, a self learner, and interested, I would reccomend
Henle Latin I. It is a much more age appropriate text for a high schooler. Unlike the Memoria Press books though it was written for a more traditional classroom setting and not homeschooling. Memoria Press does have supplementary materials for homeschooling with Henle but I have not used or reviewed them.
