Word learning is usually about what a word does refer to. But can toddlers learn from what it doesn’t?

I appreciate IES' efforts to be transparent and critical of themselves and the What Works Clearinghouse. Yes, the WWC had its issues but it is a laudable, large-scale attempt to understand how to improve education outcomes. Its dismantling works directly against those goals. https://buff.ly/3ECFaUy
