Yes — "this" is a Dolch Primer sight word. It follows regular phonics rules, but it's taught for instant, automatic recognition because it appears so often in early reading.
Is this your pencil?
"This" is fully regular — the "th" digraph plus a short i — but it's one of the earliest, most frequent words in beginning reading, so instant recognition is taught before a child fully masters "th" blending elsewhere.
Teach "this" alongside "that" — near versus far — since kids often meet them together in early sentences.
