Vocabulary Development
Vocabulary knowledge plays a central role in reading comprehension, oral fluency, and effective communication. A strong vocabulary enables learners to understand texts, express ideas clearly, and engage confidently with language across subjects.
This page brings together carefully structured word lists designed to support learners at different stages—ranging from sight words for fluency to core and high-frequency vocabulary for everyday language use.
Fry Word Lists
The Fry Word List is a widely used collection of high-frequency sight words that appear most often in written English. These words support rapid word recognition and help readers achieve fluency.
Each Fry list focuses on accurate pronunciation and repeated exposure, enabling learners to recognise words automatically and read with greater speed and confidence.
New General Service List (NGSL)
The New General Service List (NGSL) is a carefully curated set of high-frequency words essential for everyday English comprehension and communication. It forms the core vocabulary required for reading, listening, speaking, and writing.
Each NGSL list is organised into manageable sets of 50 words, with English and Hindi meanings, audio pronunciation, and contextual examples—supporting both classroom instruction and independent learning.
