Shakespeare didn't write for anyone but the actors/directors of the plays (in terms of who was intended to be the reading audience). My child has so far very much enjoyed Shakespeare's stories in the form of the stories rewritten in modern English for children, manga (with the original language), and movies - both original-language movies and varying loose modern adaptations. There are many ways of teaching/exposing children to Shakespeare.
