Rezensionen

"This engaging and accessible text will bring Shakespeare's plays to life for teachers and children across the next decade. Rich, varied and highly stimulating, Teaching Shakespeare in Primary Schools: All the World's a Stage is packed with practical advice and structured ways to explore the work of the bard in their classrooms. The energy, tone and creativity evident in the Kucharczyk's text will support both experienced and less assured primary practitioners."

Professor Teresa Cremin, The Open University, UK

"This is not simply a book about Shakespeare but one that sponsors a love and lustre for those who wish to promote a love of learning and language. The text looks at the relevance of word play and linguistic analysis, providing practical and accessible examples of how to develop a passion for literature and ignite the imagination of children when introducing them to a range of Shakespeare's plays. Packed with ideas for teaching, we see how to expertly deconstruct, reassemble, infer meaning from, identify key themes within and deliver language with passion, purpose and gusto!

The relevance of the works for a 21st century audience is examined in an accessible and entertaining format. This book is engaging from the off, inviting the reader to re-evaluate their previous experiences of Shakespeare; always through our authors' expert reimagined eye."
