Reading comprehension – William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare’s Family
William Shakespeare is thought to have been born on 23rd April, 1564 in Stratford- upon-Avon, England. William was the third child of John and Mary Shakespeare.
Fascinating Facts
• At the age of 18, William married Anne Hathaway.
- They had a daughter called Susanna in 1583.
- Two years later, Anne gave birth to twins-a boy called Hamnet and a girl called Judith. Hamnet died when he was 11 years old.
- William moved to London where he earned money as an actor and a playwright.
Shakespeare’s Plays
- Shakespeare wrote plays which were tragedies (very sad plays) and comedies, which were funny. He wrote the plays about things people had experienced: jealousy, anger, love, romance, religion and war.
- Some of his most famous plays have been turned into cartoons and films. For example, Romeo and Juliet was made into a film, and later a cartoon
- about two garden gnomes!
Shakespeare’s words.
He made up over 300 words and phrases that are now used in the English language. These include:
- barefaced
- wild goose chase

William Shakespeare died on April 23rd 1616, which was the same day as his birthday, at the age of 52.
