We read R&J in 8th grade, after which I then read Midsummer on my own. I routinely now teach Shakespeare to children 12 and under in the summer. I can't recommend this book enough Amazon.com: Creative Shakespeare: The Globe Education Guide to Practical Shakespeare (Arden Shakespeare): 9781408156841: Banks, Fiona: Books And this website has a ton of resources Teach Shakespeare | Shakespeare's Globe In general the book How to Teach Your Children Shakespeare by Ken Ludwig had a large impact on why I believe the language is accessible to children if scaffolded well. While it is more a practical guide on how to literally teach your children Shakespeare, it provides a lot of insight and reasoning behind why we should.
