Fry's fifth hundred (words 401–500) leans into science and language-arts words: surface, ocean, scientists, machine, equation, government, noun and verb. Number words thousands and six appear, along with the irregular am, oh and though.

By this point the list is less about sight memory and more about fast, accurate reading of longer words. Use the checklist to spot slow words, then practice those in sentences. The fifth hundred is often used in third and fourth grade as a fluency and spelling check.

Tips for using it

  • Scientists and government are good syllable-splitting practice: sci-en-tists, gov-ern-ment.
  • Make a custom list of only the words your child misses here.

Questions

What grade is the fifth 100 Fry words?

Typically 3rd and 4th grade, once the first 400 words are read smoothly.

How should older kids practice Fry words?

Short timed reads, sentence writing and spelling work help more than flash cards at this level.
