6 Elizabethan Education In the Elizabethan era the childhood for boys, from the age of five to seven, was spent by being sent for the most elementary level of education at what was called a Petty School These Petty schools were usually run, for a small fee, by a local, well educated housewife. At the ' Petty School ' or ' Dame School ' children's education would consist of being taught to read and write English, study religious dogma and learn lessons in behavior. Playwrights would more likely go to a Grammar school The Grammar School in Stratford was called King Edward IV Grammar School and William Shakespeare would have started attendance at the Elizabethan Grammar school at the age of seven The boys, including William Shakespeare, first learnt Latin with the assistance of the Tudor text-book known as Lily's Latin Grammar – The first year of Elizabethan education the curriculum would have consisted of learning parts of speech together with verbs and nouns. The second year of education the rules of construction and forming sentences and the third year of Elizabethan education would have concentrated on English-Latin and Latin-English translations.
