Yes — "yellow" is one of the first color sight words. It's longer than most Pre-K words, so it's taught as a recognizable whole shape before a child can reliably decode two-syllable words.
The sun looks bright yellow in the sky.
"Yellow" is spelled fairly regularly once broken into syllables ("yel-low"), but its length puts it beyond what most Pre-K readers can decode letter by letter. Since color words are essential early vocabulary, "yellow" is taught as a recognizable whole word first, with the phonics pattern reinforced later.
Break "yellow" into its two syllables when practicing — "yel" and "low" — making the longer word feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
