The first quarter of the Second 100 Words words
Group 1 covers the first 25 words of the Second 100 Words Fry list, splitting a full hundred into four smaller, more manageable batches rather than presenting all 100 words at once. Working through this group thoroughly before moving to Group 2 builds a solid base within this hundred to expand from.
Where the Second 100 Words list fits in the full 1,000
The Second Hundred covers Fry words #101 through #200. Together with the First Hundred, these 200 words push a reader's coverage of everyday English text up toward roughly 60-65% of typical printed material, and this block starts introducing more descriptive and content-carrying words — "animal," "picture," "different" — alongside more function words. Several irregularly spelled words appear here for the first time ("through," "world," "should"), making this block noticeably harder to sound out letter-by-letter than the First Hundred, and a better candidate for straightforward sight-word memorization.
Using this worksheet effectively
Reviewing this group again briefly after starting Group 2 keeps these words fresh rather than treating them as finished the moment the next group begins. Every worksheet here downloads as a free, print-ready PDF with no account required.
