Reading for Kids (VI)

 

5/March/2025

The Singing Mermaid, by Julia Donaldson

I woke up early to rehearse today's reading and had made efforts to perform the drama as much as I could imagine. The twist in the story is a typical surprise of Donaldson's stories, and I have loved it. The twist is also the timing when the story becomes suddenly clear to an audience, who might not understand the language too much. I made efforts to engage their attention with different voices and acting. Perhaps it works. The simplicity of the drama still played the key, I think. A good story, when well-performed, can always attract readers.
