From: Kim Binsted <kimb@ainews.ed.ac.uk>
Subject: Query: children's wordlist/dictionary needed
To: kimb@aisb.ed.ac.uk
Date: Tue, 13 Jun 1995 13:29:08 GMT
Hi.
I'm looking for a lexicon or word list with an approximate reading
age for each word. It doesn't need to be particularly accurate or
theoretically justified - my program just needs to be able to check
that its vocabulary is simple enough to be understood by 7-12 year
olds. It is quite important, though, that the list is long, as I am
planning on using it with WordNet (a large online lexicon). Ideally,
the list would already be online. An online children's dictionary (e.g.
the Chamber's Young Set Dictionaries, or similar) would suit my
purposes.
Do you happen to know of such a resource?
Thanks,
Kim. (kimb@aisb.ed.ac.uk)
