Why "black" Is a Sight Word

"Black" is regular once a child knows the "bl" blend and the "ck" ending, but as one of the earliest color words taught, it's introduced as a sight word before those blending skills are fully secure.

Teaching Tip

Teach the color words — black, brown, red, blue, green, yellow — as a themed group; they tend to stick together easily.
