| Summary: | childLex is an age-based lexical database extracted from a corpus of books intended for 6- to 12-year-old children. childLex provides separate norms for children 6 to 8 (beginning readers, grades 1–2), 9 to 10 (intermediate readers, grades 3–4), and 11 to 12 (experienced readers, grades 5–6) years of age. The childLex corpus was compiled from books that are intended to be read by children in their leisure time. It mainly comprises narrative, informal texts (such as the books of the Harry Potter series), but also includes some formal and ex-pository texts (science books, etc.). |
