Yes — "different" is a Second Grade sight word. At three syllables and nine letters, it's one of the longer words on the early grade lists, taught by sight so children don't get stuck decoding it piece by piece.
Each snowflake looks a little different.
"Different" is spelled fairly regularly once split into syllables ("dif-fer-ent"), but its length puts real strain on a young reader trying to sound it out letter by letter. Teaching it as a recognizable whole word — reinforced through repetition — keeps reading fluent even when longer vocabulary appears.
Clap out the three syllables of "different" together — dif-fer-ent — before trying to read the whole word, breaking a long word into manageable chunks.
