Why "like" Is a Sight Word

"Like" follows the regular silent-e long-i pattern, but it's one of the very first words a beginning reader needs, so it's taught as a sight word before the silent-e rule is formally introduced.

Teaching Tip

Once your child knows "like", point out the silent-e pattern — it also unlocks "bike", "time", and many other common words.
