Why "his" Is a Sight Word

"His" is regular in spelling, though the final "s" makes a "z" sound rather than a hissing "s" — a small quirk shared with words like "is" and "as". As a common pronoun, it's taught for instant recognition.

Teaching Tip

Notice that the "s" at the end of "his" sounds like "z" — the same pattern as in "is" and "has".
