    I am homeschooling my only daughter who is 6 years old. Should I start teaching her Shakespeare at this age or wait until she is a bit older? If so, what would be the best age at which to start?

    I would wait, there are so many other great things out to do when they are little!!

    We did our first Shakespeare play last year, my kids were 6th, 4th, and 1st grade. My 1st grader really had no idea what was going on, haha. I would wait until at least 4th grade or even later. There is no rush with so many other amazing books to read, games to be played, nature walks to explore… 🙂

    Hi Jennifer.  You have plenty of time for Shakespeare.  🙂  If she is your oldest, then waiting for a few years is fine.  Charlotte Mason introduced the full Shakespeare plays around 4th grade.  Some families enjoy reading Nesbitt or Lamb’s retellings in earlier years but its not something you must do.  🙂
