Why "know" Is a Sight Word

The "k" at the start of "know" is completely silent, and the "ow" says a long-o sound rather than the "ow" in "cow" — two irregular features in one short word, which is exactly why it's taught by sight.

Teaching Tip

Point out the silent "k" — the word is really just pronounced "no". Comparing it to "no" makes the spelling easier to remember.
