Why "do" Is a Sight Word

"Do" doesn't rhyme with "go" or "no" the way its spelling might suggest — it's pronounced "doo", with an "oo" sound instead of a long o. That mismatch is exactly why "do" has to be learned by sight.

Teaching Tip

Group "do" with "to" and "who" — a small set of words where "o" unexpectedly says "oo" instead of the long-o sound.
