App Description

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 the frequency of use and difficulty in a flashcard set.

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!
