What are the Magic Words?Magic Words are the most frequently used words in English. Magic 100 Words make up half or 50% of all the words in reading. Students who learn the Magic Words rapidly improve reading, fluency and comprehension. '12 Golden Words' - this list (sourced from the Magic 100 Words Teachers' Literacy Resource) is often sent home for children to learn the words. These '12 Golden Words' are the most frequently used words in English and can be found in every book, magazine and newspaper. Following the '12 Golden Words' are the 20 Red Words, 12 Blue Words, 16 Green Words, 16 Orange Words, 12 Indigo Words and 12 Violet Words which make up the Magic 100 Words; which make up half of all the words in reading. To be a successful reader, every student learning to read needs to know the 100 most frequently used words. Teachers everywhere recommend that parents who want to assist their children's reading skills and literacy development have the Magic Words Playing Cards to play at home. Parents can match the words (Playing Cards) to the book or Magic Words sheet their child brings home. The Magic 100 Words Playing Cards feature all of the Magic 100 Words in the coloured levels. Playing card games with the Magic 100 Words rapidly improves reading, fluency and comprehension and accelerates the learning of these most important words. This is a quick and easy way to assist every child in learning to read. Magic Words International undertook an extensive worldwide literature search of English word lists and word frequency research, to source the highest quality and most current data available. Many high frequency word lists exist, often sourced from publishers who only include the books from their own reading schemes. These lists, sourced from a small sample of books are of limited value, and hold little appeal to most teachers, as they transfer poorly to other reading schemes and indeed to general reading. Magic Words International conducted a meta- analysis of the research into word frequencies of the data collected from around the world. This resulted in an extensive study of the research, development of a robust selection criteria and a meticulous academic examination to ascertain the most statistically significant set of words. This rigorous study produced a unique compilation of words with the highest statistical significance for anyone learning to read in English. This powerful list provides superior educational outcomes and is now used in schools around the world and in over 80% of Australian Primary Schools. Magic Words International was able to group these words into levels (colours), based upon the statistical analysis of frequency of each word, to provide the greatest efficacy in teaching. The educational value of this unique compilation of words, in this order, and frequency, surpasses other lists published to date. The M100W - Magic Words materials are copyright protected.
