“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.
