Hit Shakespeare film to be shown in schools Research shows that film can radically improve children's reading age
1999
Overview
SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, the critically acclaimed film based on the early life of the Bard, will be shown free to thousands of schoolchildren tomorrow as part of a national campign to interest children in classic literature. Every school in the country has been offered free tickets for screenings of the film, starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Joseph Fiennes. It will be shown at 28 cinemas nationwide and followed in February with special screenings of Trevor Nunn's version of Twelfth Night. The claims are backed by research from King's College, London, which shows that the reading age of children working with screen adaptations of classics can be boosted by as much as two years. Researchers working on the project in inner-city schools in London found that children who worked with film and TV versions of books made remarkable progress while children who worked with texts alone stood still.
