Grade 5 · Cluster 7 · Low Stamina. Press play, and the gold box moves word by word as the passage is read aloud, so students hear and see it at the same time.
Read in Randi Whitney's voice.

One Voice Can Start a Wave

One voice speaks, another hears, A question grows and conquers fears. One person asks, “Is this thing fair?” Another stops to listen there.

A whisper travels down the street, Then other voices rise to meet. A thought once spoken all alone Can quickly find a stronger tone.

People can gather, write, and speak, To help protect the change they seek. They share their thoughts and make them known, So leaders hear more than their own.

A voice may start out soft and small, Yet one brave question can reach all. When people listen, learn, and say, One voice can start a mighty wave.
