Shakespeare's words belong to all of us. This book offers 87 lessons full of practical advice on how to teach Shakespeare to young children, with the knowledge that the best way to learn about the playwright is to write in the grip of his words.

In this exciting and accessible book, Fred Sedgwick, who has been teaching Shakespeare to KS2 children for many years, offers techniques for introducing some of the plays, starting with A Midsummer Night's Dream, to children between the ages of nine and twelve. These ideas will help them to write, act and draw in the grip of the greatest of writers. Above all, they will help children enjoy Shakespeare's words, and extend the power of their own words.

Any teacher concerned with literacy, however nervous she or he may be about approaching Shakespeare, will find this book practical and inspiring.
