The New Dolch List 1.1, also known as the NDL (Browne & Culligan, 2020), is a list of 874 words that are important for young second language learners to be able to successfully interact with EFL learning materials, other EFL learners, as well as popular children’s TV shows and children’s picture books. The NDL is based on a carefully selected corpus of 2.45 million words and gives approximately 90% coverage of most children's books, television shows, and YouTube videos. The corpus consists of the following components: Graded Readers 991,104 words Elementary EFL 4,623 MiddleSchool Texts 322,169 PictureBooks 13,347 textbooks 575,976 YouTube Not transcribed 548,172 Dolch Corpus Total 2,455,391 words References Browne, C. & Culligan, B.
