Why "those" Is a Sight Word

"Those" is a regular silent-e word (long o), rounding out the this/that/these/those set of pointing words that appear constantly in early books and need instant recognition to keep reading flowing.

Teaching Tip

Once "this", "that", and "these" feel solid, "those" is usually the easiest of the four to add — the pattern is already familiar.
