Oxford University Press compiled a list of the 500 most frequently used
words written by students in Australia in their first three years of
schooling.

The report details the findings of research conducted in 2017 into the
words most frequently used by young students in Australia in their
writing.
Students in Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2 were involved in the
research, and the results draw interesting comparisons to the last
Wordlist published by Oxford University Press 10years prior.
For instance, in the past decade the language used by students in their
first three years of schooling has become much more casual, and the
words most frequently used by boys and girls have some clear
differences.
