Using student revoicing can support the learning of all students. When a student understands a concept well and explains it in their own words, their voice and vocabulary can help classmates who may still be struggling. As the saying goes, “If you can teach it, you truly know it.” Hearing information from a peer can also feel less intimidating for students who are shy or hesitant to participate.
