Card games are a powerful and motivating way to help students practice Fry’s beginning sight words, and this Fry Sight Words Card Games Bundle is designed specifically for upper elementary readers in Grades 3–5. This bundle includes three complete sight word card games aligned to the Fry Fourth 100, Fifth 100, and Sixth 100 word lists.
Using a familiar, fast-paced card game format, students get repeated exposure to high-frequency words while reading aloud, listening carefully, and responding quickly. The consistent color scheme across all three decks allows teachers to combine decks as students progress, making it easy to scaffold instruction and gradually increase difficulty.
