Why "get" Is a Sight Word

"Get" is a fully regular short-e word, but as an extremely common action verb it's taught for instant recognition early on, well before every short vowel word has been formally decoded in phonics lessons.

Teaching Tip

"Get" is completely regular, so it's also a good word to practice sounding out once your child is ready — it reinforces the short-e sound.
