Elementary school students will be exposed to the work of Shakespeare starting at five years old under a new government education initiative in the U.K., the BBC reports.
Ian McNeilly from Britain’s National Association for the Teaching of English said: “Some of the language in the plays would be beyond pupils under a certain age, but the earlier children are introduced to Shakespeare the better.”
“It’s all down to the approach,” says McNeilly. “You can bore people of any age with the wrong approach and you can enthuse people of any age with the correct one.”
That’s true of teaching any subject.
