Why "carry" Is a Sight Word

"Carry" follows standard phonics patterns ("car" plus "ry", with the "y" making a long "e" sound at the end), so it's more about building reading fluency for a common action word than overcoming an irregular spelling โ€” a useful reminder that grade-level sight word lists include both tricky and straightforward words.

Teaching Tip

Since "carry" is fully decodable, use it to build confidence โ€” ask your child to sound it out themselves before confirming, reinforcing their growing phonics skills.
