Why "all" Is a Sight Word

In "all", the letters "al" make an "aw" sound, not the short-a sound a new reader might expect. That irregular vowel sound is why "all" is taught as a sight word rather than sounded out from scratch.

Teaching Tip

Group "all" with "ball", "call", and "small" — a family of words that share this same "al" sounding like "aw" pattern.
