SS http://www.Amazon.com' -----Original Message----- From: nifl-health@nifl.gov [mailto:nifl-health@nifl.gov]On Behalf Of Pamela Wild Sent: Monday, June 18, 2001 9:31 AM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [NIFL-HEALTH:3120] Dear NIFL recipients, Dear NIFL recipients, Many years ago I used a wonderful resource call "The Living Word" by the publisher Childcraft. This large book listed a dictionary's worth of words and noted what percentage of children at what grade levels understood the word's meaning. The book would also refer the reader to simpler, more commonly understood synonyms. When I spoke to Childcraft, they told me the book was out of print and they had no plans to update or reprint. They were not interested in being helpful and I could not get any information as to what similar resources might be available. This would be a wonderful resource when writing for any population. Does anyone know of anything comparable? Regards, Pamela Wild, M.Ed.
