This episode of a Delectable Education is brought to you by Simply Charlotte Mason's Shakespeare Resource, Shakespeare in three steps.

These teacher resources are really wonderful help for a mom who is maybe a little afraid of Shakespeare and knows that Charlotte Mason has that on the schedule for Form 2 and Up students, but they have never studied

Shakespeare themselves or feel really uncomfortable. This resource contains the

complete script of one Shakespeare play with helpful annotations that help you

the teacher scaffold the lesson and then it even comes with a PDF where you can

print off a copy of the script for each of your students so you can read this play together aloud as Charlotte Mason recommended.

So if you feel uncertain about how to introduce your children to the bountiful feast that is Shakespeare, or as he is affectionately called the Bard, in his wonderful contributions to English language.

This might be a resource for you. You can find more at

simply CharlotteMason.com.

parenting questions, even more so than those that are just strictly academic.
