Sight Words (Fry Words)

List of most common words used for reading, writing, and spelling.

This app provides the list of most commonly used words in the English language. These words should be instantly recognizable, without hesitation, by the reader. Dr. Fry stated:

- first 25 words make up ~33% of all words published.

- first 100 words make up ~50% of all words published.

- first 300 words make up ~65% of all written material.

Many words are difficult to sound out and should be memorized as sight words. I designed this app to help my kids learn the words without distraction from animations so they could focus on the words themselves. The app has a feature to playback the sound as to help the child with pronunciation. You can also hide the word and play the sound and have the child practice memorization/spelling.

This app provides all 1000 words as opposed to other apps that only give you a few words for free and then require you to upgrade for a cost. My motto is..."You shouldn't have to pay to learn". Enjoy and please do not forget to rate. Any and all feedback is appreciated.
