Age-Appropriate Vocabulary

If an author is not familiar with the standard English vocabulary shared by young adult readers, he should spend some time examining it. There are several books and web pages listing and discussing vocabulary for children’s age groups. An author can buy grade-level spelling and reading books in many bookstores that will give him insights into what children know at certain ages. A general rule of thumb is that if an author can’t find a particular word in a general-circulation local newspaper, young adult readers probably won’t know it.
