Oxford Word List - High frequency Australian English words
I have just learned about the Oxford Word List that lists high
frequency words in Australian children’s writing and reading development. It is available here http://www.oxfordwordlist.com and can be searched by children's school grade, sex, multilingual, and Indigenous status, school setting (SES status), location (urban-rural), and text type (e.g., narrative) . A great resource for considering the vocabulary of young children.
