To teach or not to teach Shakespeare? THAT IS THE QUESTION.
Do you want to kick up a notch your read aloud time or morning basket time? Then add a little Shakespeare in 2021.

Ok, so you I hear you thinking, “There’s no way I can teach Shakespeare to my kids!” and “There is no way my kids will enjoy learning about Shakespeare and his plays. I don’t understand him. How in the world will my little guys get it?” If this sounds like you, then join me for this week’s little coffee break. Yes, you can teach Shakespeare, and yes, your children will love it!
Have no fear! It’s time for some Shakespeare! It is not only doable but can be quite fun to add a little Shakespeare to your homeschooling. In this week’s Coffee With Carrie Podcast, I share five simple steps to reading and enjoying the plays of Shakespeare. I also give some fun and practical tips for introducing the Bard, his old English banter, and the beauty of Shakespearean language. I even give ideas on how to incorporate games, drama, and Legos (yes, even Legos) into your Shakespearean studies.
