Continuing the Second 100 Words progression
Group 3 continues from Group 2, covering the next 25 words of the Second 100 Words list. By this point in the sequence, a child has usually built real momentum with the overall pattern of practicing a new small batch at a time.
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.
