“We want kids to have access to wordlists because. . . when . . . they see a word, ‘Oh, I think I know what that means!’ So it pops off the list, into their eyes, through their brain, out their fingers, and into their paper. It becomes a part of them. This moves the word from a passive vocabulary into an active vocabulary.” This philosophy has influenced many IEW resources. In this episode, Andrew Pudewa and Julie Walker talk about the printed student reference tools we have created and how those have led to the IEW Writing Toolbox app.
