Recently I was trying to colour code alphabets and wanted to look at the frequency of words before I went ahead with some of the default rules.

While teaching I think sticking to band 8,7,6 should be sufficient I guess.

TODO

  1. Try to figure out if we can find the frequencies after selecting the sources. For example getting the frequency of the words based on the usage in kids books would be a great use-case. If we have the word-frequency for each word in a book and if each book has a tag like age groups etc then this exercise would become much more usable in various experiments.
