Fry Sight Words Flashcards

Fry Sight Words are a list of the 1000 most common words used in English.

They are intended for teaching reading by recognizing these words by sight rather than by sounding them out.

The list was first compiled by Dr. Edward Fry.

We tend to teach the sight words in ten sets of 100 words, starting from easiest to most difficult. Flash cards for each set are provided below.

All worksheets are designed to be printed on A4 paper. Make sure you select “shrink to fit” in order to ensure best quality output from your printer.
