Why "make" Is a Sight Word

"Make" follows the regular silent-e long-a pattern, but as a very common action verb, it's introduced as a sight word early, before the silent-e rule has been formally taught in phonics lessons.

Teaching Tip

Once your child recognizes "make", the same silent-e pattern shows up in "cake", "lake", and "take" — worth pointing out together.
