These are the first 100 Red Words taught in the Project Read
Phonics program. There are 160 words in all. These are not the
only words that break the rules of reading…that would be a list
of millions of words. These are simply the words the children
are taught to spell and know by sight! We will most likely get
to around 45 by the end of 1st grade!
