THE EDUCATOR'S WORD FREQUENCY GUIDE is the largest systematic word frequency count ever conducted. Based on over 17,000,000 tokens & 164,000 types, it is nearly 3 times the size of the corpus in the American Heritage WORD FREQUENCY BOOK, which is now over 20 years old. THE EDUCATOR'S WORD FREQUENCY GUIDE exceeds the earlier study not only in number of words, but also in number of samples (60,500) & number of different texts sampled, spanning texts from kindergarten through college. This comprehensiveness & diversity give THE EDUCATOR'S WORD FREQUENCY GUIDE corpus better coverage of actual text use across the grades than does any previously published word frequency study. The guide is comprised of four sections. Technical characteristics are described in the first section, followed by an alphabetical list of words with frequencies of 1 or greater in section 2. This list includes SFI, D, F, U, & frequency by grade-level statistics for each word. Section 3 lists words with frequencies less than 1, & the final section presents the words from the entire corpus in descending order of frequency.

The papers by Jack Stenner included in this book document the technical details of an art and science of measurement that creates new entrepreneurial business opportunities. Jack brought theory, instruments, and data together in ways that are applicable not only in the context of a given test of reading or mathematics ability, but which more importantly catalyzed literacy and numeracy capital in new fungible expressions. Though Jack did not reflect in writing on the inferential, constructive processes in which he engaged, much can be learned by reviewing his work with his accomplishments in mind. A Foreword by Stenner's colleague and co-author on multiple works, William P. Fisher, Jr., provides key clues concerning (a) how Jack's understanding of measurement and its values aligns with social and historical studies of science and technology, and (b) how recent developments in collaborations of psychometricians and metrologists are building on and expanding Jack's accomplishments. ​This is an open access book.
