The contest was attended by schoolchildren from the 7th, 8th and 10th grades of 26 Petrozavodsk schools. Despite the excitement and the difficult task of reading the text they saw for the first time without errors and with expression, most of the children showed a high level of literacy, reading competence and acting skills.
