Corpus/index for word frequency in young children

[S. Helene Deacon]

Zeno, S. (Ed.). (1995). The educator's word frequency guide. Brewster, N.J.: Touchstone Applied Science Associates. 
This is organised according to Grade Level, however, it doesn't offer concreteness, etc. (as far as I know). 

The on-line MRC psycholinguistic database  (Google search that and you will get it) does offer these indices (albeit not by grade level).
 
Both are fantastic resources.

  Subject: Corpus/index for word frequency in young children


  Dear Childes Members,

   

  I am looking for a resource containing an indexed corpus of vocabulary items for young children.  The corpus I have heard of was used in reading research and contained indices of concreteness, frequency of occurrence and other measures from children's literature organized by grade level.

   

  Does anyone have a reference for a resource like this?  Also, if such a resource exists in Spanish or other languages, I would be interested to know that too.

   

  Thank you,

  Cynthia Core, Ph.D.
