Parallel Text

Make classic literature available to all students

Parallel Text makes classic literature accessible and meaningful for students on all reading levels by placing the original text and a line-by-line modern translation on facing pages.

Students appreciate the original language of Shakespeare and early British and American authors and comprehend the author's intent. The translation aids understanding and students use it less and less.

Introductory material offers historical and cultural context while critical thinking questions and text-based activities throughout encourage discussion and analysis.
