I have selected
a page from one book in Levels 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the Ginn’s New Reading 360
collection. From here, I have analysed each page, looking at the language to
see how it develops. In particular, I have looked at; the semantic choices,
grammar, pragmatics, graphology, phonology and lexical frameworks. In terms of
the graphology, I have split each of the pages into 9 quadrants to determine
the percentage of each page that is filled by illustrations instead of writing.
In order to get fair results, I have done this with each page in the story that
the example page has come from. In a similar fashion, I have looked at the average
number of words per sentence, as well as the general number of syllables per
word. With all my data collected, I grouped the results in order to determine
whether there was an increase in features that suggested a higher difficulty.
