Methodological contributions available online

• Orthographic, grapho-phonological, and morphological characteristics of written words from French elementary textbooks. Manulex_Infra and Manulex_Morpho are two databases describing the orthographic, grapho-phonological, and morphological characteristics of written vocabulary in French elementary textbooks (Peereman, Lété, & Sprenger-Charolles, 2007; Peereman, Sprenger-Charolles, & Messaoud-Galusi, 2013; Peereman & Sprenger-Charolles, 2018). Both of these databases were created to assist researchers and educators in designing literacy programs and conducting empirical studies. The newest versions (V.2; 2021-22) of the databases can be downloaded from the site. The Eqol_infra database was also recently developed based on a corpus of 14,800 orthographic forms occurring in textbooks and children's literature from Quebec (Stanké et al., 2019). The analysis of word characteristics is similar to that of Manulex_Infra. https://inframorph.github.io/indexEngl.html
