Word-for-word CDs feature professional actors and sound effects, not just monotonous monologue
Saddleback's Graphic Shakespeare series. This series features classic Shakespeare retold with graphic color illustrations. Educators using the Dale-Chall vocabulary system adapted each title. Each 64-page, softcover book retains key phrases and quotations from the original play. Research shows that the more students read, the better their vocabulary, their ability to read, and their knowledge of the world.
I love this graphic novel of William Shakespeare's classic, A Midsummer Night's Dream. For students and for those who want to read this classic story, this is good alternative to the unabridged version. I've finished reading this within an hour and it's easier to understand compared to the original version of Shakespeare's poetic and eloquent English. A big thanks to the publisher for coming up with this.
