Maya Angelou says, Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with the shades of deeper meaning. On the Same Page celebrates the use of our voices in shared reading with students to help them gain deeper understanding of the texts we read. If you have enjoyed the increased engagement and motivation that accompany reading with your students and wondered how to extend those benefits throughout the day, this book offers support for using this approach as a foundation for learning across content areas.
