Have you ever had laryngitis and you thought, “I don’t know how I’ll teach today?” You get to school and you have a great day teaching. That’s because you used a low voice. It’s the total opposite of raising your voice to get the attention of students. When you raise your voice, children often do too! Using a lower voice is much more effective. The first time I ever saw this strategy was with a new teacher at my school. She spoke in such a low voice, I could barely hear her, but wow, she sure held the students in the palm of her hands when she talked. I have been using it and teaching it ever since. It works!
Have a great day. You are a difference maker.
