Every great author sounds like no one else. Students learn to hear an author’s voice with Beatrix Potter’s calm Peter Rabbit, then borrow Rudyard Kipling’s playful voice, turning a flat, boring passage into writing that sounds just like him. It is reading like a writer, and it is the kind of thinking your strongest readers are hungry for.
