Couple that with the research on readability, and you have the main factor in kids not loving Shakespeare like we do: far less than 95% lexical familiarity. I _always_ pre-teach words like "anon, e'er, soft, aye," and a million other high-frequency Elizabethan words - let's not forget thee, thou, thine, the royal we and our, on and on - before even starting any play. I put them on a word wall and revisit them regularly. But think about what would happen if you input the ENTIRE play into the profiler: you'd get a list of the most frequent words in the play, and that should be a valuable guide in helping you identify which words in that sea deserve most emphasis. Gotta run. Nate,
