Methodology- 157 Words

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.
