Is "come" a Sight Word?

Yes — "come" is a Kindergarten sight word. Its silent "e" usually makes the previous vowel say its name (a "long o", as in "home"), but "come" instead has a short "u" sound, breaking the pattern.

Why "come" Is a Sight Word

Children are taught early that a silent "e" at the end of a word makes the vowel before it "say its name" — like "hope" or "cute". "Come" looks like it should follow this rule and rhyme with "home", but it actually rhymes with "gum". This mismatch is why it needs to be memorized rather than sounded out.

Teaching Tip

Compare "come" directly with "home" — same silent-e pattern, completely different vowel sound — to make the exception concrete and memorable.
