Magnetic Letters/Letter Cards
    Use a set of magnetic letters or the letter cards to practice forming the words your child needs to learn on the Fry's list.

Word of the Day
    Put a Fry's word your child has to learn on your refrigerator.  Have your child find that word in books , the newspaper, magazines, catalogs and/or on signs.  At the end of the day, have your child write that word on a list.  Keep adding the daily words to this list.  You can then use this list to help your child read and practice the words.

Flashcards
    Start with 5 Fry's words that your child needs to practice.  Write each word on a separate card.  Hold the cards in a pile showing your child one at a time.  Work through them several times to see how quickly your child can read them.  Add 2 new words every day and continue to practice them all.

Concentration/Memory Game
    Choose 8 Fry's words that  your child needs to practice.  Make 2 cards for each word.  Shuffle the cards and place them upside down in 4 rows of 4 cards.  Take turns turning over 2 cards and read each as it is turned.  If the 2 cards are the same word, that player keeps them and takes another turn.  Cards that do not match are turned face down again in the smae place.  Continue playing until all the cards have been matched.  The player with the most cards wins!

Fry's Words in the Newspaper
    Have your child circle or highlight all the Fry's words that s/he can find in the newspaper.
