The first quarter of the Tenth 100 Words words
Group 1 covers the first 25 words of the Tenth 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 Tenth 100 Words list fits in the full 1,000
The Tenth Hundred covers Fry words #901 through #1,000, rounding out the full 1,000-word Fry list. It's a mix of science vocabulary ("oxygen," "molecules," "substances"), geography and social studies terms ("northern," "southern," "capital"), and grammar terms ("adjective," "plural," "suffix") — by this point in the ranking, the words are still common enough to be worth learning by sight, but specific enough that they cluster around particular school subjects rather than everyday speech. A child who's worked through all ten hundreds has covered the entire standard Fry Instant Words list.
Using this worksheet effectively
