Fry Words

My Kindergartner-to-be needed to learn the top 100 Fry words. I tried many different apps but none hit the mark until this one. What’s great about this app: it speaks the word, it has all the Fry word lists, it allows customizing lists (for example I combined 10 built-in Fry lists into 1), it lets you change font/color and other settings, and best of all it has a flash card mode AND a game mode. In the latter it shows the word surrounded by X (you choose) number of other words, and the child picks which written word matches the spoken word. This gives much better variety and a different mental pathway than only using flash cards. Kudos to the developer - and all for only $0.99!!

Nice app. I wish there was a way to mark the cards off that have been mastered so they know what needs to be worked on.

I don’t even want to know how many sight word apps I downloaded before finding this one. It does almost everything I need without a bunch of unnecessary games. Each set of Fry words is broken down into their 10 word list making it easy for me to make a favorite list for my kids to practice. My only complaint is I have to set it up on a different device for each kid as their practice words are all different and I don’t want to create my own list with sounds every week. If I could just create a quick list from all words that would be ideal. Regardless, I’m thankful I didn’t have to build an app myself.
