list of common words

[Nan Bernstein Ratner]

I think this is what folks want. My memory is that it was prepared by Patton Tabors of Harvard Grad School of Ed; we have used it in a few studies. I hope this attachment will go through. I do not know if there are others; this is the one we have used.

Best to all,
Nan

I have the memory that there is a list somewhere of the 3000 (?) most common words in English, which can be used by exclusion to measure the use of ‘rare’ words. Can someone point me to that list? Even better, is there software available to scan a passage and compute the number of common vs. rare wrods?  Many thanks.
Philip Dale
