Why "help" Is a Sight Word

"Help" is a fully regular short-e word with a common blend ending, but it's taught early as a sight word since it's one of the most useful, frequently needed words for a young child to read and say.

Teaching Tip

"Help" is fully decodable, so once it's recognized by sight, it also makes a great word for early sounding-out practice.
