Yes — "many" is a First Grade sight word. Like "any", its "a" makes a short "e" sound ("MEH-nee") rather than the expected short "a", so it's memorized by sight.
There are many stars in the sky.
"Many" shares the same irregular vowel pattern as "any" — both words look like they should have a short "a" sound but actually sound like a short "e". Teaching these two words together helps children recognize the pattern as a small, connected exception rather than two unrelated surprises.
Practice "many" and "any" back to back, pointing out how both break the same expected vowel rule in exactly the same way.
