Fry Sight Words — First 100, Set 2
Continuing the research-backed Fry progression! This free printable Fry word tracing worksheet covers Set 2 of the First 100 Fry Words for children aged 5+. Building on Set 1's foundation, these words add more verbs, pronouns, and function words that children encounter constantly in grade-level texts. Each word mastered pushes reading fluency measurably closer to the 50% threshold.
Compounding Word Knowledge
The power of Fry words is cumulative — each set builds on the last, creating an ever-larger pool of instantly recognized words. Children who master Sets 1 and 2 find reading significantly less effortful because over a third of the words on any page are known on sight. This reduction in decoding effort frees mental energy for comprehension — understanding what the text actually means.
