Illinois New Teacher Collaborative

If you are collaborating in a high school level English course and use any of Shakespeare's works, you may have difficulty with students who have a variety of learning disabilities and reading levels. I found that through using the freely available site: http://nfs.sparknotes.com  our students can have access to this during their studyhalls and at home and they can read and then cross check the text with standard English to make sure they are grasping the concepts. In addition, this series of books at http://www.shakespearemadeeasy.com/are quite useful for working through difficult text with students who have a need for a dual text that is portable.
