The Caesar's English program is designed to be a very rigorous program for gifted kids. It shows a student that memorizing a stem and its definition is not enough. The intent of the program is for students to begin at a novice level and through effort and perseverance move to a level of expertise. Since we know that “struggling” and “not getting 100%” may be new to your gifted child and causing “tension” at home, we have composed answers to some frequently asked questions to explain our expectations in the Caesar’s English Program.

Why is the Caesar’s English Program used in Enrichment?

Caesar’s English introduces students to a very different kind of studying than they have ever done before! It asks them to develop a different set of skills over a longer period of time to create a 'working' definition of Latin stems and powerful words. In studying for Caesar’s English, the initial objective IS memorizing the stem or word meaning, but after that, students must be able to use that knowledge to decode and comprehend words they may not have seen before by recognizing the stem and applying their knowledge of meaning, part of speech, and context. This happens through application so students begin to expand an internalized and individual process for figuring out meanings of words. Students develop skills that serve them in multiple contexts for a lifetime.

What is cumulative study?

Cumulative study is a skill set that is the basis for 'scholarship.” To really demonstrate a mastery level of understanding that will guarantee a student's ability to USE the word or stem all through life (when you don't have the benefit of having studied it specifically) you need to develop the skills of interpreting word meaning based upon a very strong but flexible understanding of how words or stems 'behave' in general. Being able to apply a stem in various grammatical contexts and forms and determining a word meaning based upon knowledge of the nine parts of speech, is a learned skill. From the CE examples, we hope students will transfer the skills to ANY word they come upon by looking for the remnants of Caesar's English and figuring out possible meanings even if they have never specifically studied it! As you can imagine, this is a skill that takes a long time to master. The tests are formative rather than summative assessments. Students start at a novice level and over weeks of working with this program, they become experts at language. Cumulative study is a process of “studying” a little bit every day to embed these skills.Students should be studying regularly, not just in response to an upcoming test.

How can we study more effectively at home?

Studying at home is not just flash cards and quizzes, but talking about and 'getting to know the words” as they are used and change with different contexts. Pointing out when they are used in everyday discourse and print media and using them whenever possible are fabulous ways to learn vocabulary. Gifted students quickly master the knowledge of what each stem means, sometimes in the introduction in class, but the pages of the Caesar's English text develop a rich tapestry of the importance of these words and stems in literature and effective communication. Gifted students are capable of learning the subtle nuances of a word’s meaning in different contexts. As we discuss the new words and stems in class the children are told that the review page at the end of the chapter is just a beginning place of study. They are told each week that they are responsible for ALL of the pages, not just that short study list. Each week's work is a link in a chain in a process of understanding how vocabulary works, not just a finite list of words and stems. It is vital they understand the synonyms as well as the definitions. There are 50 Caesar's English words with a multitude of meanings that your child will need to study. Each of these lessons will be thoroughly reviewed before the test.

What if my child is disappointed about not getting a perfect score on tests?
Please reassure your child that they are in the initial stages of a process to learn a valuable and difficult NEW set of skills. Help your child be patient and persistent. The payoff will come and it will be BIG when it does! The Caesar's English program IS rigorous...but it will be a turning point in the scholarship of your child. Elementary level students are so lucky to learn the skills Caesar's English teaches because it does not come in the first few lessons or even after many lessons - EVEN if your area of talent is the verbal arena! When students tackle something very challenging, and through effort and consistent focus progress to a higher level of understanding, the pride and sense of accomplishment they reach makes a grade meaningless in the face of the ability and understandings they have about language. It may be the hardest thing some of them have ever done and for some, the first curriculum area requiring effort! Sometimes simply letting your child know that they are starting off at a novice level toward proficiency in using these words and stems will ease their disappointment. Most of us remember learning the discipline of scholarship in college, and often “the hard way.” Gifted students need to know that becoming an expert at anything takes time and effort.

What does it mean when my child misses 5 or more items on a test?

Caesar's English Book 1

In every discipline of study, a student begins at the working novice level. In the Caesar’s English program, in one lesson, students are introduced to five new words including the variations for parts of speech and examples of using each word in different contexts. In the next lesson, students learn 5 stems, including several examples words. This is the power of the Caesar’s English program. It introduces students to the concept of “power learning”: the idea of working “smart” not “hard”. By learning five stems, students will actually know hundreds of words if they also learn the process of applying the meaning of Latin remnants of words not just the stem meaning. The ability to incorporate the contextual use of a word and its part of speech are crucial to demonstrate a proficient or expert understanding of each stem. YOUR CHILD IS BEING SUCCESSFUL AS LONG AS THEY ARE WORKING TOWARD MASTERY OF THIS SYSTEM - NO MATTER HOW MANY ITEMS THEY MISS ON A TEST! We want students to value the learning, not the grade.

If understanding meaning is the objective, why count off for spelling?

Students need to spell in such a way that it shows their understanding of the context. For example, if they understand the meaning of countenance (the contents of the face) then facial expression as the meaning of that word should at least be close to face and not fashal. The understanding of the origin of the word is part and parcel to the spelling. Each word’s 'history' is contained in its spelling and since we discuss this during our lesson, it is important for them to learn it. We understand that it will take time for students to do so.

What is the benefit of such a rigorous program as Caesar’s English?

This program allows students to develop an expert level of vocabulary that will be a tool for effective communication and writing now, and in the future. Beyond that, students learn a process of scholarship enabling them to process language to find meaning further than knowing a finite list of stems & words. Caesar’s English introduces students to the discipline of cumulative study. To succeed in this program, students need to develop regular and efficient study habits. This will teach them the ability to use vocabulary with confidence and accuracy whether they encounter it in classic literature or current issues- EVEN when it has not specifically been studied! Sounds daunting, but it actually is often reported by our 'grads' as the best skill they learn in Enrichment.
