  • LEMI

    LEMI is the first digital tool in Romania that integrates linguistic complexity analysis methods for school reading texts. To create the LEMI digital platform, the project team implemented research methods from the combined fields of corpus linguistics and information technology. Our partners, schools, and NGOs, helped us validate the research results in the classroom.

    LEMI has been created in the framework of the project LEMI: Reading for Me. Science for Children (link to the project website here).

    What LEMI offers:

    1. A digital repository of 250 texts for school reading, grouped by age level, readability, complexity, and content typology. Text selection is performed through the "Search" option.

    2. An interface for analyzing the desired text, by uploading a short text for complexity verification. Text analysis is performed through the "Analysis" option.

    3. Sets of tutorials and informative materials that explain and exemplify how the platform can be used by teachers, parents, children, and the general public. This information is located in the "Documentation" section.

    Access to the "Search" and "Analysis" options is through a personal account (free and easy to create), accessible through the "Enter the platform" button.
