About this Fry sight words 71-80
This group includes number vocabulary, action words and language for possibility. Two, more and number connect naturally with early mathematics, while write and see can be used to discuss what pupils are doing during the activity itself.
Could and people are longer than most earlier words in the sequence. Their handwriting strips help pupils maintain consistent size and spacing across a longer horizontal movement.
The Fry sight words 71-80 set can be taught as one sequence or revisited in smaller groups according to pupils' reading and handwriting needs.
What is included?
- 10 words: two, more, write, go, see, number, no, way, could, people.
- 2 picture-glossary pages with meanings and example sentences.
- 2 handwriting sheets using grey models, dotted letters and independent copying space.
- 8 PDF pages in total: front cover, instructions, glossary, handwriting sheets and two terms pages.
How to use this Fry sight words 71-80
Use counters to establish two and more, and ask pupils to read the relevant example sentences. Model write carefully so children attend to the initial letter sequence rather than relying on sound alone. Move through grey tracing, dotted tracing and independent copying.
On the second page, pause before could and people to plan spacing across the line. Review by asking children to select the word that names a number, an action and a group.
