This is a useful tool for writers who are interested in making sure their vocabulary hits the mark for the particular age range of their novels. I used it while writing a middle grade novel to make sure certain word choices wouldn't be too far over heads. Could be a valuable resource for teachers as well, particularly ESL or special education.

I've used the Children's Writer's Word Book several times to rewrite something at a lower level, be it for children or for my ESL students. It is a useful tool.
