Romeo and Juliet without tears
This version of the play offers a great way to read the story of Romeo and Juliet. I have found it an excellent resource to use with a group of teenage students with severe literacy difficulties. They have enjoyed taking part and have not been put off by language they can not decipher.
The main themes of the play are clearly dealt with, although some people may have different interpretations of the some of the characters, such as Lord Capulet.
There is an activities section at the back, which was also much enjoyed. And this is praise indeed coming from some of my students!
I would recommend this play as an excellent way to introduce Romeo and Juliet to pupils who are struggling with English.
