Abstract
Describes a multiage first-through third-grade classroom where the development of children’s voices and their writing can happen slowly, in its own time. Uses children’s poems to show how children discover the craft of writing through listening to other writers (fellow classmates and authors) in the ongoing process of hearing their own voices and fastening them to the page.
