Yes — "but" is a Kindergarten sight word, one of the earliest connector words a child learns to introduce contrast between two ideas in a sentence.
I wanted to play, but it started to rain.
"But" follows regular phonics rules, but as a short, extremely common connector word, it's taught as a sight word so children read it fluently without pausing to sound it out — keeping the flow of a sentence intact.
Ask your child to finish sentences using "but" — "I like ice cream, but..." — a fun way to practice the word's meaning alongside its spelling.
