Building on Group 1
Group 2 continues directly from Group 1, covering the next 25 words of the Third 100 Words list. Working through these groups in order, rather than jumping around, keeps the overall Third 100 Words vocabulary building steadily.
Where the Third 100 Words list fits in the full 1,000
The Third Hundred covers Fry words #201 through #300, completing Fry's often-cited "first 300 words = about 65% of all text" milestone. This block includes several words tied to concrete, everyday concepts a child can picture directly — "family," "water," "school," "tree" — a real shift from the more abstract, purely functional words that dominate the First Hundred. It also introduces several common contractions ("don't," "it's"), which are worth pointing out explicitly since a contraction's spelling doesn't follow the same rules as the words it's built from.
