“You can’t think a thought if you don’t have the words to think it.” In this episode, Andrew Pudewa and Julie Walker talk about how building vocabulary enhances thinking skills.

Listen as Andrew and Julie discuss how we teach vocabulary and why it is important to teach it in the context of other courses.
