That is, the rule doesn\u2019t apply to only a handful of words, but is transferable across numerous words. In such cases, teaching the rule is worthwhile as it helps break the code when the child encounters similar words, e.g. the rule for \u2018made\u2019 applies broadly to \u2018spade\u2019 and \u2018brave\u2019, but also more broadly to \u2018strove\u2019 and \u2018cube\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"custom-indent\">This rule is often known as the magic e rule. Its use can be noticed in many words, so it\u2019s definitely a rule worth teaching.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_id=&#8221;How-easy-is-the-rule-to-understand&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px||0px||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;How easy is the rule to understand&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; width=&#8221;95%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1200px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|10px||10px|false|false&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#f2735c&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1>How easy is the rule to understand?<\/h1>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/fromapixel.com\/lcentralold\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCentral-English-Enrichment-Tuition-Singapore-Blog-Sight-Words-How-easy-is-the-rule-to-understand.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;LCentral English Enrichment Tuition Singapore Blog Sight Words How easy is the rule to understand&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px||||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"custom-indent\">Some reading rules are quite simple, while some are more complex.

If memorising common words like \u2018the\u2019 and \u2018was\u2019 gets them reading, then a little investment in memorisation is definitely worth it!<\/p>\n<p class=\"custom-indent\">However, if a child is a bit older and still struggling to read certain common words, then it seems memorisation of sight words is not working for them. In such cases, it can be worthwhile analysing words in even more detail. If the more common approach is not working, then it only makes sense to try something new. Additionally, the older child is more mature, and therefore more able to think in abstract and conceptual ways.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_id=&#8221;Conclusion&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px||0px||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Conclusion&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; width=&#8221;95%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1200px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|10px||10px|false|false&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#f2735c&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1>Conclusion<\/h1>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/fromapixel.com\/lcentralold\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCentral-English-Enrichment-Tuition-Singapore-Blog-Sight-Words-Conclusion.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;LCentral English Enrichment Tuition Singapore Blog Sight Words Conclusion&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px||||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;30px||||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"custom-indent\">While this article provides guidelines for thinking about advanced phonics, reading rules and sight words, the decision is not always clear cut, and it depends on contextual factors as well.
