Hi,

My daughter is the same age and grade as your daughter. Last spring she was in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. I wanted to read it with her so she would understand what it was all about. I found a series called "No Fear Shakespeare" which has the complete original text on the left page, with a modern text on the right page. It was very easy to understand, and we still were able to read the original play. She loved it and has gone on to read more Shakespeare since.
