Caesar’s English

Caesar’s English is a core vocabulary text in Michael Clay Thompson’s language arts series, designed for upper-elementary and middle school students. Through short, highly readable lessons, it teaches Latin stems, classic English words, and sophisticated usage, often pairing word study with brief historical or literary notes. Parents appreciate that the program treats children as capable of handling rich, adult-level vocabulary, and that it builds long-term word power rather than just test-oriented lists. When used as part of the broader MCT sequence or on its own, Caesar’s English offers excellent value for families seeking a rigorous but engaging vocabulary spine.
