Fry First 100 Sight Word Flash Cards

If you are familiar with the traditional Dolch sight word list, you may or may not be familiar with the Fry sight word list. 

Created by education professor Dr. Edward Fry in 1957 (and later updated), the list includes 1000 high frequency words, broken down into lists of 100. Elementary schools often focus on the first 300 words.

What Is Included

This printable includes flash cards for the first 100 words. There are ten to a page and ten pages.

What You Will Need

• Printer paper
• Another option is card stock paper if you would like them to be a little sturdier
• Scissors
• You could also use a small paper cutter if you would like to cut the cards out faster
• If you would like to make the flash cards even sturdier, you could glue them to construction paper after you cut them out.
• If you would like to make them REALLY sturdy so they will last longer, you could laminate them using laminating pouches and a laminator

How to Prepare the Flash Cards

Print out the pages of flash cards on printer paper or card stock paper.

Use scissors or a paper cutter to cut them out. You can print out every page or only the ones you need at the moment. 

Glue them to construction paper and/or laminate. Again, this is completely up to you.
