Why "good" Is a Sight Word

The "oo" in "good" makes a short sound, not the long "oo" heard in "food" or "moon" — even though the spelling looks the same. That inconsistency is why "good" is learned as a sight word rather than sounded out by the usual rule.

Teaching Tip

Compare "good" to "food" — same "oo" spelling, two different sounds — so your child learns to expect this "oo" can go either way.
