Stepping into Shakespeare
Stepping into Shakespeare
This handbook shows teachers how the language of Shakespeare's plays is an invaluable resource for aiding children's reading skills. The National Literacy Strategy Range of Reading for Year 6 includes where appropriate, study of a Shakespeare play. Stepping into Shakespeare provides attractive and suitable teaching materials to help teachers introduce their students to Shakespeare in a wide range of active ways. Such methods develop all aspects of students' literacy skills, understanding and practice; and the materials will release, resource and enhance students' imagination, appreciation and enjoyment.
