The first 100 are the highest-frequency words many early readers meet again and again in books and classroom texts. Teaching them well is not about memorising a wall chart once. Students need repeated, short practice: see the word, say it, use it in a quick game, and track which words are secure. A starter pack with records and cards makes that routine easier to run every week. Tip: keep the first sessions short. Five to ten minutes of focused practice beats a long worksheet that students rush. ## Using Fry lists in Australian classrooms Fry lists sit alongside other high-frequency word lists Australian schools use (for example Oxford or M100W). Many teachers use Fry for fluency and intervention groups even when the school's main list is different. These resources suit: - Foundation to early primary literacy blocks that include high-frequency word practice - Small-group intervention and differentiation (the seller's store focus) - Relief teachers and aides who need cards and tracking sheets ready to go Year levels vary by school and by student. Treat Foundation to early primary as a practical classroom range, then match the pace to the learners in front of you. We are not listing specific curriculum code strings here. Check your current Australian Curriculum documents for the exact content descriptions you need for planning and reporting.

Screen and record Use the individual record and class overview to see which of the first 100 words each student already knows. That stops you drilling words they have already secured. ### 2. Practise with cards and flash cards Pull a small set of unknown or shaky words. Students read, say, and match using the tags and flash cards. Keep sets small so success stays high. ### 3. Move into games Once a cluster of words is familiar, use a game for spaced practice. That is where the related Snakes and Ladders, Switcheroo and screening-kit games earn their place. ### Handy classroom uses - **Literacy rotation:** one station for Fry cards while you take a guided reading group - **Intervention group:** short daily burst with the same 10 to 15 target words - **Home practice:** send a small card set home with the words you are currently teaching - **Relief day:** flash cards plus a simple “read and sort” routine written on the board This pack supports high-frequency word practice. It is not a full phonics program. Pair it with the decoding instruction your school already uses. ## Sight Word Resources for Foundation _(Dynamic listing feed — browse at the page URL for live results.)_ ## Related Fry sight word resources Once the free starter pack is in use, continue with related Fry resources from the same teacher store.

The [Fry's first 100 sight words starter pack](/l/sight-words-starter-pack-fry-s-first-100-individual-record-class-overview-tags-cards-flash-cards/66ea2928-bee7-458f-b3dd-5fc800b4b457) is free to download on TeachBuySell. Related games and kits in the same store are paid. ### Fry vs Dolch: which list should I use? Both are common high-frequency word lists. Fry ranks words by frequency in a large sample of written English; Dolch is an older graded list many teachers still know. Use the list your school already follows, or see our [sight words list comparison guide](/teacher-guides/sight-words-list) for Oxford, M100W, Dolch and Fry side by side. This page focuses on classroom resources for Fry's first 100. ### What year levels is it for? It suits **Foundation to early primary** high-frequency word practice, plus intervention groups working on the first 100. Match the pace to your students rather than treating the list as a single year-level unit. ### What should I teach after the first 100? Keep practising shaky words from the first 100, then move into games and screening tools linked above. When students are ready, the [first 300 screening kit plus games](/l/fry-s-instant-sight-words-the-first-300-screening-kit-plus-games/6717e5e3-068c-46de-8694-09b3802da7b2) is a natural next step on the same store. ### Where is the seller store?
