MEMORY MASTER OVERVIEW

Who is a Classical Conversations® Memory Master?


A Classical Conversations® Memory Master is a student registered in a Classical Conversations®
Foundations community who has memorized 100% of the current year’s memory work as found
in the Classical Conversations® Foundations Curriculum; recited 100% of that information to one of
his or her parents, another adult, and tutor; and completed a spot check by his or her Foundations
Director. Memory Master is not for everyone, and families who do not choose to go through
the Classical Conversations® Memory Master process can still expect mastery of most
subjects and reward their child at home.

What is the Memory Master process like?


The Memory Master process consists of four oral recitation proofs wherein the student recites the
Foundations memory work to his or her parent, another adult, tutor, and then finally, Director. In
each of the first three proofs, the student is asked to recite 100% of the cycle’s memory work in
one sitting while the proofer keeps record on the Subject Summary Proof Sheets. Upon successful
completion of each proof, the student proceeds to the next proofer. The final proof covers
approximately 25% of the memory work, randomly chosen by the Director. Parents are always
welcome to observe any part of the Memory Master proofing process.

How does a student prepare for the Memory Master process?


Participating weekly in community and reviewing memory work at home is the student’s best
preparation for the Memory Master process. Parents are encouraged to use the Subject Summary
Proof Sheets located after every cycle in the Foundations Curriculum to aid in drilling the memory
work at home near the time of proofing.

When and how does the Memory Master process occur?


Once parents and students have made the decision to work toward Memory Master, they should
inform the Director and tutor, usually early in the second semester. Proofing begins around Week
22, and a student can typically do two proofs per week. The final proof by the Director should
take place no later than one week after the Foundations program ends. A student who begins the
Memory Master process can decide at any time to stop simply by letting the tutor and Director
know.

THE PROOFING PROCESS

What is needed to complete the Memory Master proofing process?


• Foundations Curriculum
• Memory Master Guide
• blackline master maps
• multiplication flashcards to 15s

How long does it take to proof?


The parent proof may take between two and three hours. Each subsequent proof will be quicker. If a
student is taking much longer than this, consider postponing the Memory Master process until next
year.

What does the first proof, done by the parent, consist of?
The parent will use the prompts from the Subject Summary Proof Sheets found in the Foundations
Curriculum as a guide while the student recites 100% of the cycle’s memory work with no more
than three misses per subject. Parents should record the student’s misses on the Subject Summary
Proof Sheets. Proofing rounds can be tracked using either the Memory Master Guide or the Memory
Master Proof Sheets included in this packet. Upon successful completion of each proof, the student
proceeds to the next proof.

What does the second proof, done by the other adult, consist of?
The second proof by the other adult consists of 100% of the memory work, as above, with no more
than one miss per subject.

Why is the student’s second proof done by another adult?


A second proof provides opportunity to proof with someone other than the teaching parent. It helps
take away some nervousness before the student is asked to proof with 100% accuracy with the tutor.
It may benefit the student to have someone impartial rather than parent or relative doing the second
proof, so that the student is better prepared for the tutor proof.

What does the third proof, done by the tutor, consist of?
The tutor proof consists of 100% of the memory with no misses per subject. The student should
be able to recite the memory work to the tutor confidently and successfully, with ease. If that is not
the case, the tutor will not advance the student to the Director but will recommend that the student
try again next year.

Why is the student’s tutor performing the third proof?


The tutor has established a relationship with the student and understands the student’s true
ability. Because of that unique relationship, a shy or less confident student may feel more at ease in
proofing. If there is a time conflict or other extenuating circumstances, a student may perform the
third proof with another tutor from his or her community.

© 2022 Classical Conversations® MultiMedia, Inc. All rights reserved. 4


What does the Director proof consist of?
The Director proof is a celebration of the hard work the student has completed, confirmed
by the Director’s quick proof. It is the final step in the Memory Master process, consisting of
approximately 25% of the memory work, recited with no misses. The Director will vary the random
sampling of content for each student in a community.

What is the difference between mastery and perfection?


A student’s recitation of all the cycle’s memory work should be effortless. Hesitation by a nervous
student should not be considered a miss because perfection is not the goal. When a student
hesitates, circling back to the question after the student has successfully completed a subject, or at
the end of proofing, may help him or her succeed and show mastery.

HOW TO PROOF SUBJECT BY SUBJECT

It is always a good idea for parents to have conversations with their child’s tutor and Director to
discuss how to proof. This provides a consistent experience through the proofing process.

Math
Math memory work includes multiplication facts, conversions, laws, and formulas. Students ages
ten and older at the time of parent proofing must recite the complete multiplication facts using
flashcards in random order. Students ages nine and under at the time of parent proofing may recite
the skip counting songs for these facts. Regardless of age, a student can recite the squares and cubes
by singing or chanting. Depending on the age of the student, the proofer should prompt by using
the following examples:

Math Facts
Ages ten and older: Proofer holds up a flashcard and the student recites the whole
multiplication fact. “Five times four is twenty.”
Ages nine and under: “Tell me the 2s,” or “Skip count the 2s,” and the student recites, “2, 4,
6 . . . 26, 28, 30.”
Conversions:
“Tell me linear equivalents,” and the student recites, “2.54 centimeters equals 1 inch;
12 inches equals 1 foot; 5,280 feet equals 1 mile; 1 kilometer equals 5/8 mile.”
Laws and formulas:
“Tell me the area of a rectangle,” and the student recites, “The area of a rectangle equals
length times width.”
“Tell me the Distributive Law,” and the student recites, “The Distributive Law states a times
opening parenthesis b plus c closing parenthesis equals a times b plus a times c.”

Latin
Cycles 1 and 2 Latin memory work is presented in multiple weeks during the cycle, but it only needs
to be proofed one time during each of the parent, other adult, and tutor proofs. The Director proofs
only 25% of the total memory work; however, that 25% should include all of the Latin memory
work since it is repeated in multiple weeks for Cycles 1 and 2.

Cycle 1: Noun Cases and Declension Endings


The proofer should prompt by saying “Tell me the first declension endings,” and the student recites,
“a, ae, ae, am, ā; ae, -ārum, -īs, -ās, -īs.” The student may recite, sing, or orally spell the endings. He
or she may say “singular” and “plural,” but is not required to. The student is not required to recite
the macrons.

Cycle 2: Verb Conjugation Endings


The proofer should prompt by saying “Tell me the first conjugation endings, present tense,” and the
student recites, “ō, s, t, mus, tis, nt; first conjugation, present tense.” The student can recite, sing, or
orally spell the verb endings. He or she is not responsible for the pronouns or the number (singular/
plural). The student is not required to recite the macrons.
© 2022 Classical Conversations® MultiMedia, Inc. All rights reserved. 6
Cycle 3: Latin Vocabulary, Rules, and John 1:1–7 Translation
Vocabulary – It is recommended that the proofer incorporates both Latin to English and English
to Latin during the proofing process. For example, the proofer says, “Tell me the Latin for without,”
and the student recites, “sine.” The proofer then switches the prompt by saying “Tell me the English
for de,” and the student recites, “of.”
Rules – For example, the proofer says, “Tell me the verb rule,” and the student recites, “Latin verbs
have different endings called conjugations.”
Translation – It is recommended that proofers do not split the passage up week by week, but
instead ask the student to recite the passage in its entirety. For example, the proofer says, “Tell me
the Latin for John 1:1–7,” and the student recites the entire passage in Latin. “Tell me the English
for John 1:1–7,” and the student recites the entire passage in English.
Director proof – Directors may ask for a random sampling of vocabulary, rules, or the entire
passage.

Science
Science memory work is comprised of various definitions and word lists and is presented using
the question prompts as shown in the weekly memory work of the Foundations Curriculum. The
proofer should prompt by asking, “What are some parts of the food chain?” and the student
recites, “Some parts of the food chain are producer, consumer, and decomposer,” or the student
repeats the question and recites the list. The science lists do not have to be in the same order as
in the Foundations Curriculum as long as all of the parts of the list are recited and the order isn’t a
fundamental part of the memory peg (as it would be for Cycle 2, Week 1: “What occurred on each
day of creation?”).

English Grammar 
English Grammar memory work is comprised of various definitions and word lists and may be
presented in question or “tell me” form. The student may chant or sing the English memory work.
The proofer should prompt by asking “What is a pronoun?” and the student recites, “A pronoun
replaces a noun in order to avoid repetition.” Or “Tell me the reflexive pronouns,” and the student
recites the list. Since some of the English grammar memory work is learned bit by bit (e.g., the
indefinite pronouns), a student could also memorize a chant or song of the entire list and recite it
during the proofing process.

Timeline
The Classical Acts & Facts® History Cards timeline should be memorized. The student can sing,
chant, or speak the timeline, with or without hand motions. For Memory Master proofing, a student
may not use any music in the background if he or she chooses to sing. The dates, which are in
the “Timeline Song” published by Classical Conversations®, are not required. Memory Master
candidates should be able to start with the title of the first card and recite every title of every card
in order. When the Director proofs the student, he or she will prompt with the event on a timeline
card and the student should be able to pick up there and continue until asked to stop. For example,
the Director might prompt with “Tell me the timeline beginning with ‘The Middle Ages’ until I say
stop.” The student recites, “The Middle Ages, Council of Chalcedon, Western Roman Empire Falls
to Barbarians, Byzantine Emperor Justinian . . .” The student continues until the Director interjects,
“Stop.”

History
History memory work consists of sentences and should be proofed using the prompts as shown
in the weekly memory work of the Foundations Curriculum. The proofer should prompt by
saying, “Tell me about Lao-Tzu and Confucius in China,” and the student recites, “Around the
sixth century BC, Lao-Tzu founded Taoism, which emphasizes harmony with nature, and Confucius
taught compassion and obedience.” The student may say, sing, or chant the history sentence.

Geography
Blackline master maps are used for Memory Master proofing. In community, however, tutors may
introduce new grammar using a combination of the color labeled key maps and blackline master
maps. These maps are located in the Foundations Curriculum, on the cycle-specific Trivium Tables®:
Geography, and on the Trivium at the Table Placemats. The geography headings are not required
for weekly memorizing or Memory Master proofing and only serve as a general focal point of
the locations. The proofer should proof geography using the “Show Me, Tell Me” method to
demonstrate mastery of the geography memory work:

Show Me
• The proofer will prompt the student with “Show me the Adriatic Sea.”
• The student shows by pointing to the Adriatic Sea on the blackline master map.
Tell Me
• The proofer will point to a location on the blackline Master map and prompt the student,
“Tell me what this is (pointing to Siberia).”
• The student tells by reciting, “Siberia.”

Scripture Passages
The cycle-specific Scripture passages are not required for Memory Master. Classical Conversations®
does not wish to usurp your church or family Scripture memory work. Rather, we have chosen
a passage of Scripture per cycle to augment the Foundations memory work. Please note: The
Scripture verses in Cycle 3 are the exception since they are also memorized as part of the Latin
memory work.

CELEBRATING MEMORY MASTER

Are there different Memory Master proofing requirements for a student with special
needs?
Classical Conversations® is honored that families who have children with special needs participate
in the Foundations program. Students with many different abilities are valuable members of our
local Classical Conversations® communities, and we enjoy and benefit from them. Regardless of
whether a student reaches 100% mastery according to the Memory Master proofing requirements,
all students’ accomplishments should be celebrated by their families.

What are some ways to celebrate Memory Master at home?


The memorization of any of the subjects to the point of mastery is excellent. We tend to master
the subjects we gravitate toward first, and a student who has mastered some subjects is to be
congratulated. Families are encouraged to celebrate this achievement. Parents may wish to award
the “Memory Master at Home” certificate, included at the end of this packet.

NATIONAL MEMORY MASTER COMPETITION

What is the National Memory Master Competition?


The National Memory Master Competition is a nationwide memory competition for Classical
Conversations® students between the ages of 11–12. It culminates in a championship for sixteen
finalists with a cash prize for the winner. A student must be proficient in all three cycles of the
Foundations Curriculum memory work. For more information about the National Memory Master
Competition, including the official rules and important dates, please visit https://members.
classicalconversations.com/classical/academic-services/national-memory-master

How does a student enter the National Memory Master Competition?


A student interested in entering the National Memory Master Competition must complete the
current cycle’s proof process with his or her local licensed tutor and Director. This proof generally
takes place much earlier in the school year, so be sure to check the Classical Conversations® website
for important dates. It is the parents’ responsibility to ensure their child’s tutor and Director know
the child is interested in competing in the National Memory Master Competition and to make
appointments with the tutor and Director for proofs. Directors do not need to notify anyone once
the proof is complete. A representative of the National Memory Master Competition will call the
Directors of the sixteen finalists to confirm that the proof took place properly. Additionally, parents
should be certain that their child can accurately recall information from all other cycles.

Once a student interested in the National Memory Master Competition completes the proof
with his or her Director, the student’s parent will need to submit a scouting video. Guidelines for
submitting a scouting video can be found on the National Memory Master Competition website
prior to the start of the new school year.

What is the difference between the National Memory Master Competition and the regular
Memory Master process?
The only difference between a National Memory Master proof and a regular Memory Master
proof is that it must take place earlier in the year. Once a student has completed an early proof to
participate in the National Memory Master Competition, he or she will be considered a Memory
Master for his or her local community.
