Why "funny" Is a Sight Word

"Funny" is a regular two-syllable word, but as one of the earliest describing words a child learns, it's introduced as a sight word before multi-syllable decoding is fully secure.

Teaching Tip

Clap out the two syllables โ€” "fun-ny" โ€” to help your child hear that longer words can still be broken into simple, familiar chunks.
