On Episode 7, Pete interviews SPU's own Bill Nagy, a professor of literacy and curriculum in the School of Education.  You’ll hear about his journey from a “mournful adolescent poet” to an eventual academic career in linguistics and education.  You'll also hear Bill describe some of the ingredients that would help to create his dream environment for teaching kids a love of language, and how high-risk students can benefit from playfulness and fun when learning vocabulary.
