Continuing the Third 100 Words progression
Group 3 continues from Group 2, covering the next 25 words of the Third 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 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.
