As part of the English curriculum at GCSE is to study a Shakespeare play, this fab poster includes five of the plays that feature on the most popular exam boards for GSCE English, AQA and Edexcel. For each play, I’ve highlighted several modern teen and adult books that are based on that specific play. This poster is intended to grab students’ attention and potentially direct them to more modern and accessible texts with central themes from Shakespeare’s plays, in order to further aid learning and understanding. Reading the books that are featured may also help to encourage reading for pleasure and is perfect for more able readers who want to read around their subjects.

Finding books to read that are suitable for young readers who have dyslexia can be difficult.

They are all suitable for dyslexic readers (buff paper, accessible layout, clear font), but can be read by anyone and are particularly great for reluctant readers who can feel overwhelmed by lots of text on a page.
