Talking Study Reference King Lear app for iPhone and iPad

King Lear has become very popular among high school teachers due to its length and subject matter. Study Reference King Lear helps students learn Shakespeares tragedy by combining text and voice, allowing students to read along to help them understand this classic at their own pace. The problem with Shakespeares work is that the pacing of his plays are quick, which makes them difficult to follow when viewing or listening. However, the text is not easy to read for students who are not familiar with Old English and may bore some students. So we combine the audio and text to allow you the freedom to listen to the lines you want, replay them, make notes, and then continue whenever you want. Studies show that when you read along with others, its easier to follow and understand the text.
