Free printable Fry word practice worksheets for early readers, featuring sentence completion and word sorting activities.

Let’s solve the first worksheet: Fry Words 1–10

We are given these words to use (at the bottom of the page):
in, is, you, that, it

We need to fill in each sentence with one of these words. Then cross out the word we used. We’ll also write two new sentences using any two words we didn’t use — but since there are only 5 words and 5 sentences, we’ll use all of them once. So for the “write your own sentences” part, we can reuse any two words.

---

Step-by-step:

Sentence 1:
*I will put my book __________ my bag.*
→ What makes sense? You put a book *inside* your bag → in
✔ Use: in

Sentence 2:
*__________ that your favorite game?*
→ This is asking about something → “Is that...” → Is
✔ Use: is

Sentence 3:
*Do __________ like to eat pizza?*
→ Asking someone directly → “Do you...” → you
✔ Use: you

Sentence 4:
*My favorite colors are yellow __________ green.*
→ Connecting two things → “yellow and green” — wait, “and” isn’t on our list! But look again — maybe it’s not “and”. Let’s think…
Actually, this might be tricky. Our word list is: in, is, you, that, it. None of those fit perfectly here unless...
Wait — maybe it’s “yellow that green”? No, that doesn’t make sense.
Hold on — perhaps I misread. Let me check the original image again mentally...

Actually, looking back at the user’s image description, the bottom row says:
in | is | you | that | it

But sentence 4: “My favorite colors are yellow ________ green.”
The only logical connector from the list is... none really. Unless it’s a typo or trick? Wait — maybe it’s supposed to be “yellow and green”, but “and” isn’t available.

Wait — let’s re-express: Maybe the intended word is that? Like “yellow that green”? No, that’s grammatically wrong.

Alternatively — could it be it? “yellow it green”? No.

Hmm. Perhaps I made a mistake earlier.

Let’s try assigning differently.

What if Sentence 4 uses that? Still doesn’t work.

Wait — maybe the sentence is meant to be:
“My favorite colors are yellow and green” — but “and” isn’t in the word bank. That suggests maybe the word bank includes more words? Or perhaps I missed something.

Looking again at the user’s input: The bottom row shown is:
in | is | you | that | it

And the sentences are 5, so 5 words for 5 blanks.

Let’s try Sentence 5 first.

Sentence 5:
*__________ is the book I wrote.*
→ Referring to the book → “It is the book I wrote.” → It
✔ Use: it

Now we’ve used: in, is, you, it → left with that

So Sentence 4 must be:
“My favorite colors are yellow that green.” — which is incorrect grammar.

This suggests an error — unless the sentence is actually:
“My favorite colors are yellow and green” — but “and” isn’t in the list.

Wait — perhaps the word bank is different? Let me double-check the user’s message.

User wrote:
At the bottom:
| in | is | you | that | it |

Yes.

Alternative idea: Maybe Sentence 4 is not requiring a conjunction. Could it be “yellow is green”? No, that contradicts.

Or “yellow you green”? Nonsense.

Perhaps the sentence is misprinted? Or maybe I should consider that “that” can sometimes be used informally? Not really.

Wait — let’s look at Sentence 2 again:
“__________ that your favorite game?”
If I use Is, then “Is that your favorite game?” — perfect.

Sentence 3: “Do you like to eat pizza?” — good.

Sentence 1: “put my book in my bag” — good.

Sentence 5: “It is the book I wrote.” — good.

That leaves that for Sentence 4.

But “My favorite colors are yellow that green” is wrong.

Unless... is it possible the sentence is:
“My favorite colors are yellow, that green.” — still awkward.

Another possibility: Maybe the sentence is “My favorite colors are yellow and green” and “and” was accidentally omitted from the word bank? But we have to work with what’s given.

Wait — perhaps the word “that” is being used as a demonstrative? Like “yellow, that green one”? But the sentence doesn’t say “one”.

I think there might be a mistake in the worksheet design — but since we must choose from the given words, and “that” is the only one left, we’ll go with it, even though it’s not ideal.

Alternatively — let’s swap assignments.

What if Sentence 4 uses is?
“My favorite colors are yellow is green.” — no, that’s worse.

What if Sentence 2 uses that?
“That that your favorite game?” — no.

Sentence 5: “That is the book I wrote.” — oh! That works!

Let’s try that.

Reassign:

Sentence 5: “That is the book I wrote.” → ✔ valid

Then Sentence 2: “__________ that your favorite game?” → needs “Is” → “Is that your favorite game?” → ✔

Same as before.

Still stuck on Sentence 4.

Wait — what if Sentence 4 is: “My favorite colors are yellow it green.” — no.

Perhaps the sentence is meant to be completed with “and”, but since it’s not available, maybe the teacher expects us to realize that and skip? But we can’t.

Another thought: Maybe “that” is used in a comparative way? Unlikely for early learners.

Let’s consider that perhaps the word bank includes “and” but it’s not listed in the user’s text? Looking back at the user’s message, they wrote:

> At the bottom:
> | in | is | you | that | it |

No “and”.

Perhaps in the actual image, there are more words? But based on what’s provided, we have to proceed.

Maybe Sentence 4 is: “My favorite colors are yellow you green.” — absurd.

I think the most plausible explanation is that there’s a typo, and Sentence 4 should be something else, or the word bank should include “and”.

But since we must complete it, and “that” is the only word left, we’ll use it, noting that it’s not standard.

However, let’s try one more approach.

What if Sentence 1 uses “it”?
“I will put my book it my bag.” — no.

Sentence 3: “Do it like to eat pizza?” — no.

Sentence 4: “My favorite colors are yellow is green.” — no.

All other combinations fail.

Perhaps the sentence is: “My favorite colors are yellow, that’s green.” — but that’s adding words.

I recall that in some contexts, “that” can be used for emphasis, but not here.

Let’s look online or recall common Fry word exercises. Typically, for “yellow ___ green”, it’s “and”, but since it’s not available, maybe the intended word is “or”? But “or” is on the other worksheet.

Wait — the user included two worksheets. The second one has “or”, but that’s for Words 21-30.

For this worksheet, only 1-10 words are given: in, is, you, that, it.

Perhaps the sentence is miswritten, and it’s supposed to be “My favorite color is yellow and green” — but again, “and” missing.

Another idea: Maybe “that” is used as in “yellow that green” meaning “the green that is yellow”? Nonsensical.

I think we have to accept that Sentence 4 will use “that” as the only remaining option, even though it’s grammatically poor.

But let’s check Sentence 5 again.

If we use “It” for Sentence 5: “It is the book I wrote.” — good.

Then for Sentence 4, we have “that” left.

Perhaps the sentence is: “My favorite colors are yellow — that green.” implying “that green one”, but it’s stretched.

Maybe in the context of the lesson, “that” is being taught as a pointer, so “yellow, that green” means “yellow and that green color”.

For the sake of completing the task, I’ll assign:

1. in
2. Is
3. you
4. that [with reservation]
5. It

Then for the “write your own sentences” part, since all words are used, we can pick any two, say “you” and “it”.

Example sentences:
1. You are my friend.
2. It is raining today.

But the instruction says “with two words you did not use” — but we used all five. So perhaps we can reuse, or maybe the worksheet allows it.

The instruction: “Write your own sentences with two words you did not use.” — but since there are 5 sentences and 5 words, we used all. So likely, it’s a mistake, or we can interpret as “any two words from the list”.

To be safe, I’ll assume we can reuse.

So final answers for the blanks:

1. in
2. Is
3. you
4. that
5. It

And for the own sentences, e.g.:
1. You like ice cream.
2. It is fun.

But let’s verify if there’s a better fit.

Wait — what if Sentence 4 is: “My favorite colors are yellow is green.” — no.

Another possibility: Perhaps “that” is for Sentence 2, and “Is” for Sentence 5.

Sentence 2: “That that your favorite game?” — no.

Sentence 5: “Is is the book I wrote?” — no.

No.

Perhaps Sentence 4 is not requiring a word from the list? But the directions say “use your Fry words to complete each sentence”.

I think we have to go with the assignment above.

So:

Final Answer for the fill-in-the-blanks:

1. in
2. Is
3. you
4. that
5. It

For the own sentences, since all words are used, we'll create two sentences using any two words, say "you" and "it":

1. You are kind.
2. It is sunny.

But to match the instruction strictly, if we must use words not used, and we used all, then perhaps the worksheet has an error. In practice, teachers might allow reuse.

Given the constraints, I'll provide the fill-ins as above.

──────────────────────────────────────

Final Answer:
1. in
2. Is
3. you
4. that
5. It

Own sentences (example):
1. You are happy.
2. It is big.
