Why "brown" Is a Sight Word

"Brown" is regular — the "br" blend plus the "ow" sound as in "cow" — but like the other early color words, it's taught for instant recognition before a child has mastered every blend and vowel team involved.

Teaching Tip

The "ow" in "brown" sounds like "ow" in "cow" and "how" — pointing that out helps with several words at once.
