Educational Significance and Common Core Alignment

These words align with multiple Common Core Standards for English Language Arts, particularly in the domains of spelling and vocabulary development. The words in Fry List 32 are particularly relevant to:

  • CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.3.2.E: Use conventional spelling for high-frequency and other studied words and for adding suffixes to base words
  • CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.4.2.D: Spell grade-appropriate words correctly, consulting references as needed

This word list supports these standards by providing students with exposure to both regular and irregular spelling patterns, as well as commonly used words that appear frequently in grade-level texts. Many of these words, such as "separate," "business," and "increase," represent more complex spelling patterns that students need to master for proficient writing.

Teaching and Learning Applications

List 32 of the Fry Words presents an interesting mix of both concrete and abstract nouns ("team," "art"), action words ("caught," "serve"), and words with various spelling patterns. These words are particularly valuable for third and fourth-grade students who are developing their reading and writing skills. The list includes words with multiple syllables ("separate," "business") and words that often appear in academic contexts ("history," "increase").

Practice Strategies

When working with these words, it's beneficial to focus on both their spelling patterns and their meaning in context. Many of these words can be challenging for students due to their irregular spelling patterns or multiple syllables.
