Project Overview
Read Nose: Sniff out vocabulary. This a Chrome extension based on educational word lists. The most studied word lists are called the GSL and the AWL. The GSL covers 80% of the words used in most English corpuses by raw word count. The GSL+AWL covers 90% of the words in academic contexts. So learning words from these lists can be beneficial.
The extension simply detects which words are on the page and lists them in the popup. It is not intended to be a dictionary. It’s just a tool to help students narrow down the list of word they need to study, or to allow them to produce a word list to study before tackling the article.
