It demonstrates that when students share their personal interpretations with others, they alter, grow, reframe, and extend their understanding of the text.

In this timely book, teachers will learn how to inspire students to buy into their own learning by giving them a voice in determining, organising, structuring, and responding to what is happening in the classroom.
