For Shakespeare we read it aloud with different people reading different parts which I think made it easier to tackle at that age. Sometimes we watched Shakespeare as a movie/performance first. I remember it not as torture, but as enjoyable.

Me too.. I liked The Odyssey and Beowulf. Also enjoyed the Canterbury Tales so much that I took a whole class on Chaucer in college. I was a theatre nerd as well as a book lover in high school so I liked Shakespeare too.
