In this Teaching Tips article, the author argues for a dialogic conception of voice, based in the work of Mikhail Bakhtin. He demonstrates a dialogic view of voice in action, using two writing examples about the same topic from his daughter, a fifth‐grade student. He then provides five practical tips for teaching a dialogic conception of voice in elementary and middle school classroom settings.
