Why "going" Is a Sight Word

"Going" is a regular word formed by adding "-ing" to "go", but as part of the extremely common phrase "going to", it's taught early as a sight word so a child can read it fluently in everyday sentences.

Teaching Tip

Point out that "going" is just "go" plus "-ing" โ€” once your child knows that pattern, it unlocks lots of other "-ing" words too.
