Features Fry Words

Expanding on the Dolch list, Dr.
Edward B.
Fry in 1996 created a new list of high frequency words (“Fry Words”).
These 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 make up ½ of all words published and 300 make up 65% of all written material.
These high frequency words should be recognized instantly by young readers.These 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, based on frequency of use and difficulty in a flash card setting.Features included: • The first 500 Fry Words • The word is read out when the card is touched • Cards can be marked for the Review list (use the star to mark and settings to clear) • Long press arrow buttons to jump to start or endFor the next 500 words, see our Fry Words 2 app.Paid and ad-free versions available.
