From an Amazon reviewer:
I am using this set as part of the homeschool curriculum for my 4 children, ages 6, 8, 11, and 12. All my kids were internationally adopted and have “special needs”, including, in some cases, learning disabilities and language disorders. So far, these simplified Shakespearean plays have been a huge hit. The author catches the main plot points, themes, ironies, and character development of the original plays, but in an accessible way. Yes, I do have to provide a lot of context and explanations to my particular children, but these books are still carrying a lot of the teaching weight. The author uses rich language, which has helped me teach new vocabulary and demonstrate good writing techniques to my kids. I’m very pleased with this purchase!
