Fry Words
Expanding on the Dolch sight words, Dr. Edward B. Fry in 1996 created a new list of high frequency words (“Fry Words”). The Fry instant words are the most common words used in English ranked by order of frequency.
Dr. Fry found that 25 words make up 1/3 of all words published, 100 words make up ½ of all words published and 300 words make up 65% of all written material. These high frequency words should be recognized instantly by young readers.
The Fry words are helpful for adults learning English as a second language as well as for children.
This app has 500 words divided into five levels and then divided into groups of twenty-five words, based on frequency of use and difficulty in a flash card setting.
Features included:
• The first 500 Fry Words
• Words can be marked to the Review list (use the star to mark and menu to clear list)
• The word is read out when the card is touched
• Long press buttons to jump to start or end
• No ads!

I tried to press to hear the words and it didn't work. This is why I paid for the app. Am I doing something ring or is this a bug?

My student has limitations which make it difficult to read. This app helps very much. I give it all the stars I can.

This has actually been the best thing for my children learning their sight words! Simple flashcard-style with easy review of the ones they weren't sure of. Great app!

I purchased these apps for my daughter after trying out the free ones believing that the paid apps each had 500 words. The apps only show 300 words each. Will there be an update?
I use this for my younger children
