You could also include some Latin for the spells - it might be a 
little young for him, but the Minimus series is aimed at age 7 and 
up. Minimus Pupil's Book: Starting Out in Latin. There's a teachers 
book if you know no Latin, with the answers but I think it's quite 
expensive.

There's also Latin for Beginners, but that seems to assume you're 
learning Latin in class and want a supplementary text.
