Is "some" a Sight Word?

Yes — "some" is a Kindergarten sight word. Like "come", its silent "e" doesn't create the expected long vowel sound, so it's pronounced "sum" rather than rhyming with "home".

Why "some" Is a Sight Word

"Some" belongs to a small family of common words — including "come", "love", and "done" — where the usual silent-e rule simply doesn't apply. Grouping these words together when teaching them helps children see the pattern of exceptions rather than treating each one as a surprise.

Teaching Tip

Teach "some", "come", and "done" together as a trio — once a child recognizes this small group of silent-e exceptions, all three become easier to remember.
