Yes — "every" is a Second Grade sight word. Many speakers pronounce it with only two syllables ("EV-ree") despite its three-syllable spelling, which can confuse early readers sounding it out.
She brushes her teeth every morning.
"Every" is technically three syllables (ev-er-y) but is commonly spoken as just two ("EV-ree") in everyday speech — a mismatch between spelling and casual pronunciation that makes sounding it out unreliable. Teaching it as a sight word sidesteps this inconsistency.
Say "every" slowly, syllable by syllable (ev-er-y), even if you'd normally say it faster — hearing the full spelling-matched pronunciation once helps cement the written form.
