Fry Words (Free)
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
Paid ad-free version also available.

Could be a great app, would have given it more stars but it didn't seem to add words to the review list which was disappointing
Not useful for the UK. Would be helpful to be able to switch between UK and US spellings
Matches the lists from school. My daughter feels so independent practicing on her own.
My 7 yr old has vastly improved his reading skills with this app. We love it!
I love this app so much
Excellent. Highly recommend. Gets them ready for kindergarten. Easy Fun Motivating Can be used independently made into a game with 2 and great used during commute
Would actually be an awesome app if the word reader actually worked when you touch the word..but it's still a good tool to always have flashcards with me.
Good. Font size is big and the speed to the next word is fast moving. It would be excellent to have a button for children to click on the words they are unable to read.
My 5 Year Old son uses this app all by himself. From selecting the sets to flipping and reading to marking the word for review. No supervision needed. He can read much faster now by memorizing these Fry words instead of trying to sound out every word like he used to. Thank you so much. Love your app!!!
I really like this app his school uses the same list that's why I started using the app. The only thing I wish it did was allow him to see only the ones he needs help with
This is a great app for my children. They are learning their sight (fry) words at home as well as at school. This app also allows me to go paperless. Last school term, I kept losing the sight words list that was being sent home.
I like how the app works and is set up. Unfortunately, I don't know what accent this person has. "And" is pronounced like "end". Other words are mispronounced too. How does this help? Uninstalling to find another app.
Great toy for my son.. He can quiz himself and learn from repition
Very useful in teaching my child those important words
Great app for learning Fry Words
Wonderful for my 3 year old granddaughter. Can't wait for my 4 year old grandson to use.
It would be nice if the developers can make an option to trace a site word before moving on to the next site word.
There is no way to access the settings so why even show the picture.? The picture you should be showing is that when you touch the word it is pronounced I almost miss this important feature .I would give it 5 stars if I could add my own words,fix that and you have a 5 star rating
Amazing, love it
My daughter is in kindergarten and learning her sight words. This app helps reinforce her words while we are on the go.
It said the bug for review words was fixed. I have Motorola Mini Droid and review words stops after first word.
The only huge glaring bug is that it crashes immediately every time I try to go to past the first review word, every time, on both my Nexus 7 and my Droid DNA smartphone.
My only issue is i can't access the settings to turn off sound
This app would be perfect for the second grade ESL (English as a Second Language) student that I am tutoring if it had the option to turn on the spoken word for each card. Then she could study independently at home too.
Great app! I love that I can quickly tag what words my student needs to review. I also like how quickly I can flip thru words because it's perfect for my student with a small attention span. Please make another app or add to this one for the rest of the fry words :-)
My daughter uses this and learns something each time. Five stars...
This is very helpful for my granddaughter.... Love it
Never play
My first grader loves this app. We have it installed on several devices and I recommend it to all his friends parents and his teachers. The review button is a great feature to focus on words they are sti learning.
