There's nothing "wrong" with skipping ahead - children learn at different rates and get different levels of enjoyment (motivation) from educational activities. By grade 3, though, flashcards with boring old mom weren't nearly as exciting as going biking with their friends! But those Dolch and Fry words are still there, always ready to help them on their journey through the wonderful world of reading. Preschool and kindergarten were filled with giggles and excitement as my girls discovered the wonders of language. When my girls were young, I had the joy of spending lots of time with them. Although there's a bit of overlap, it was never a problem for my little ones. From the moment they say their first "mama" or "dada," these little word pals are there to help them discover the magical world of reading.Īs a mom, I love to start teaching Dolch words in preschool and kindergarten, and then move on to the delightful Fry words in grades 1 through 6.

Children progress at their own pace, and what may be suitable for one child at a particular age may differ for another. It's important to note that the grade levels associated with my Fry sight word worksheets are merely suggestions, as every child's learning journey is unique. Even for those that can be sounded out, learning them as sight words increases the speed, ease and often enjoyment of reading. Many of these words cannot be sounded out because they do not followĭecoding rules and, therefore, must be learned as sight words. The Fry word list is made up of "service words" (pronouns,Īdjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and verbs). Fry covers about 90% ofĪll words used in school books, library books, newspapers, and magazines. Fry Frequency words are an updated version of the Dolch word list increasing the list from 220 words (Dolch) to 1000 words (Fry).
