Also, they can be used for tracking growth. These can be helpful in determining where you students are and making a plan for where you want them to end up. If you are just beginning to implement a Fry word focus in your classroom, start here!įirst, we suggest printing off Fry Word checklists. With the range of activities we have created, our hope is that you are able to find resources to fit the needs of each of your students. We are big believers in not having students complete Fry Word practice just because. The mastery shows that the student is acquiring the words on their own. If a student is in second grade and has mastered the first 500 Fry words, it does not seem to be necessary to offer the student Fry word practice. Weve also had students in our classrooms who do not need targeted Fry word work.

Some students might have mastered these words and can begin by practicing the second or third hundred words. We want our students engaged working over and over on mastered skills seems like busy work. We dont like requiring students who have mastered the first hundred words to continue repetitive practice. Not all students need work on the first one hundred words. We love working on Fry words because it is something very easy to differentiate for your students.
