[Corpora-List] Graded reading materials

[Doug Cooper]

The REAP project http://orleans.lti.cs.cmu.edu/Reap/ may be helpful.
It's intended to a) assess text difficulty, b) locate texts that have
a particular difficulty level, and c) assess student ability with such
texts.  REAP takes a lexically oriented approach to measuring text
difficulty (in contrast to the traditional sentence-oriented measures).
Some of the papers linked at the bottom of the page discuss their
methodology.

Now my puzzle is how to get enough graded English texts to test my result. I have collected some materials such as TOEFL reading materials to test the result. But the amount is not big enough. I hope I can get more English reading materials which have been graded by people. The materials can be English examination materials,course books,stories, novels, news or anything. The broader the better.
