General Questions
What is Wordbank?
Wordbank is a site for archiving, sharing, and exploring anonymized
MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory (CDIs) data from the
original English form and from CDI adaptations in many languages (such
as Croatian, Danish, English, German, Italian, Norwegian, Russian,
Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish). Wordbank compiles responses from norming
studies but also includes data that individual researchers have
contributed from various research projects, large and small. As a
successor to CLEX, Wordbank allows users to generate norms for
populations and for individual items interactively, and can be used as
both a teaching and a research tool. For background and some working
examples, see Frank
et al. (2017).
If you want more information about Wordbank and the CDI, take a look
at our book, Variability and
Consistency in Early Language Learning: The Wordbank Project.
What can I do with the site?
Wordbank is designed to be flexible and interactive, allowing users
to generate analyses for groups of children (e.g., how many words do
English-speaking girls produce between 16 and 24 months?) or for
individual items (e.g., how many children are reported to produce the
word “dog” at 15 months?). Since Wordbank contains data from many
different languages, it allows you to explore both child-level and
item-level data within and across languages. On the Analyses page,
select the Vocabulary Norms tab to track normative growth in
vocabulary in a given language across all children in the database, or
split by gender, maternal education or birth order. Select the Item
Trajectories tab to plot the trajectory of acquisition for one or
more individual items/words, or the Cross-Linguistic
Trajectories tab to compare item frequencies across languages. In
the Data Export Tools section, you can download the raw data in
csv format in three different layouts (by-child, by-word, and
by-child-by-item) for use with your own analytic tools.
How many CDIs are in the database?
The number of CDIs stored in Wordbank is continually growing, and we
are always interested in adding more datasets to our site! To see which
researchers have already contributed, click here: http://wordbank.stanford.edu/contributors. If you are
interested in contributing your own data, please contact us via email at
wordbank-contact@stanford.edu.
I am interested in using the CDIs for my own projects, how do I get
the forms themselves?
To learn more about the CDI instruments themselves, including
information about the many different languages for which CDI instruments
are available, go to the CDI
website. The MacArthur-Bates CDIs for English and Mexican Spanish
are available for purchase from Brookes Publishing Company: http://www.brookespublishing.com. If you are interested
in a CDI adaptation in other languages, consult the Adaptations page on the
CDI website and contact the developer of that instrument
directly.
Using Wordbank
Do I have to know R to use Wordbank?
No! All of the code for running analyses with Wordbank data are
available using the wordbankr package, but we have set up
many Wordbank analyses and visualizations that you can do interactively
directly through the website. No knowledge of R is necessary.
Can I work with the data on my own, rather than through the
website?
No problem. You can download child summary data, item-level data or
the entire child-by-word data within the Analyses page. Simply select
the Language and Form that you would like and then download. Some
datasets are rather large, so this could take a while! You can also
access the data directly in R by using the wordbankr
package.
Can I use Wordbank in my undergraduate or graduate classes?
Absolutely! Wordbank is designed to be user-friendly and to enable
students from all backgrounds to explore data on early language
development. For example, students can use the interactive tools to
identify those words that are earliest or latest learned in English or
other languages, compare the trajectory of acquisition for particular
words across languages, or compare general trends in vocabulary growth
as a function of gender or maternal education. We would love to hear
about how you are using Wordbank in your classes, including feedback for
how we could make Wordbank a better tool for this use!
I need to find words to use as stimuli for a study that I’m running.
Can Wordbank help?
Yes! To visually explore trajectories of acquisition using our
interactive tools, try out the plots in the Item Trajectories
section or compare acquisition for a single word across many different
languages in our Cross-Linguistic Trajectories section.
However, a more comprehensive way to obtain item frequencies is via the
By-Word Summary Data in the Data Export Tools section.
Click on the Language, Form, and Measure that you are interested in
(e.g., English, Produces, Words & Sentences), and then use the
selector to identify the Age (Months) (e.g., 24-30 months). In this
example, the resulting table shows the proportion of children who are
reported to produce each item at each age. You can browse the entire
table or sort the output by a selected column (e.g., sort words
alphabetically, from highest-to-lowest frequency, or by CDI category).
You can download the complete table, if you wish, or use the Search box
in the upper right hand corner to select particular items. Search for a
category name (e.g., animals) if you want to see all of the words in a
particular category.
Contributing to Wordbank
Who can contribute to the database?
Any researcher can contribute to Wordbank. Many of the datasets
contributed so far represent norming data, but Wordbank is designed to
incorporate CDI administrations that were collected for many different
purposes and in research projects of many different sizes. We welcome
your data regardless of whether you have hundreds (or even thousands) of
forms, or if you only have a few dozen!
Why should I contribute to Wordbank?
By contributing to Wordbank, you will become part of a consortium of
researchers who believe that, by combining our data together, we
increase our power to understand children’s early language development.
Following in the spirit of CHILDES, Databrary, CLEX, and others, we hope that being
a part of Wordbank will raise the visibility of your work, while
facilitating crosslinguistic analyses of CDI data by researchers around
the world!
Do my data need to be published before I can contribute?
Not necessarily. You are welcome to submit your data at any time in
the publication process (or if you don’t plan on publishing at all). You
could even include a note about contributing to Wordbank in your
manuscript submission. If you have published your data at time of
submission, we will cite the corresponding publication along with your
name on the contributors’ page (and we can always update this if you
publish a manuscript later).
I want to contribute, now what do I do?
If you have electronic, item-level data in any format, you are
welcome to forward on what you have and we will work to convert it to
Wordbank format. It is important that each child record has a unique
identifier and that children with multiple administrations are provided
with the same ID for each administration. Additional demographic
information is also very helpful, especially child’s gender, mother’s
year of education, birth weight, gestational age, and birth order.
(Please provide a key to your variable values!). If your data include
children from special populations, such as children with ASD or children
born preterm, please indicate that as well. If you are contributing data
for a language that is not currently in Wordbank, please provide a copy
of the CDI form itself, a translation of the items, and any related
publications or working papers. Once the data are imported, we will
acknowledge your work on the contributors’ page and post any citations
related to the data (see http://wordbank.stanford.edu/contributors). To assure
that your data were imported correctly, will send you a link to your
particular dataset so that you can verify our work.
If you have only hard copy data, please contact us. It may be
possible for us to help in digitizing the data.
Does sharing my data with Wordbank violate Human Subjects
protections?
No! All of the data in Wordbank are completely anonymized and
therefore, do not constitute human subjects research. Potentially
identifying information such as date of birth is used to compute child’s
age of test, but is never stored in the database. We assume that your
data were collected following your own institution’s IRB standards and
should be completely anonymized before contributing to Wordbank.

This week I wanted to produce something useful for both teachers and students, and after writing about Google Ngrams last week, I thought it would be a good idea to discuss word banks.
Word Banks are a great way to manage new vocabulary, but rather than using paper-based resources, have you tried using Microsoft Excel to keep track of your vocabulary?
Using flashcards, or a box full of index cards is a great resource for the whole class, but it is not as useful for self-study. Writing notes on loose leaf paper or in a notebook is great for self-study but it may become more difficult to keep track of words when there are hundreds of entries in your word bank.
Are there any advantages to keeping a word bank in Excel?
Yes, there are. For example:
- You can use it completely offline. This is useful for classrooms with no, or unreliable connectivity.
- You can keep track of the types of words you are learning. This will help keep your vocabulary balanced.
- It is easy to search through old entries and sort words alphabetically.
- The word bank is easy to distribute. You can copy and paste vocabulary between files, e-mail the file, or store it on a cloud so it can be accessed from multiple devices.
- The file size is small and if data protection is an issue the file can be password protected.
Click on Word Bank to download the template. It is also available from the downloads page.
When you have downloaded the file, delete the example words and start adding your own!
There are three sheets in the Excel file: the ‘Word Card’ sheet, the ‘Data’ sheet, and the ‘Statistics’ sheet.
On the ‘Word Card’ you can select a word from the list, and it will automatically display your notes for that word.
The ‘Data’ sheet is where you add your words, their synonyms and antonyms, and your notes.
The ‘Statistics’ sheet is where you can keep track of how many words you have learnt and what type of words they are.
For words that have multiple meanings, it is better to tag them differently. Study is both a noun and a verb, so you may want to enter it as Study-1 and Study-2 or annotate the word in your notes section.
The template will store 10,000 words.
For more than 10,000 words you will have to adjust the Excel formulas. I hope you find the template helpful. This word bank was a new project, if you have any problems, suggestions or comments, then please leave some feedback.
Take care!
Be aware that there may be some compatibility issues with Excel 2007, and with other spreadsheet software such as OpenOffice Calc. Adjust the formulas and customize the template as needed. If you use Numbers, you should experience no problems. If you would like to know more about the formulas and how the word bank works, then read on.
So, you have decided to learn how the word bank works. This will help you to customize the template and build a more comprehensive word bank.
The formulas used in the word bank are: COUNTA; COUNTIF; IFERROR; SUBSTITUTE; VLOOKUP This video provides a brief tutorial about how these functions work to make this word bank.

There are software programmes that give children word banks so that they can create a story by clicking on certain words. This helps them with their decoding skills (ability to look at a written word and say it out loud) and also helps them with composing a piece of writing, without having to worry about spelling or handwriting.
Word banks can also be used to help children to be more creative. A teacher might be focusing on adjectives in a particular lesson, so they may ask children to write a description of something using a given bank of adjectives.
How are word banks used in KS2?
As children move into Key Stage 2, they are expected to start using powerful verbs and adverbs. Some writing tasks include word banks to support children in being creative with their writing.
Word banks can be a good way of helping children to improve their writing by increasing their vocabulary; word banks offer some extra support.
Some teachers encourage children to make word banks on the wall, so that a list of adjectives, powerful verbs or adverbs become part of the display for children to see every day. Often they encourage children to add to these lists with words they have thought of or come across. This way the display becomes a collaborative effort where rich and interesting vocabulary can be shared.
