From UFLI - "An irregular word is one that cannot be readily …
From UFLI - "An irregular word is one that cannot be readily decoded because either: o it includes grapheme-phoneme correspondences that are unique to that word or a few words (permanently irregular words), or o the student has not yet learned all the grapheme-phoneme correspondences in the word (temporarily irregular words).
Contrary to popular belief, students should not be taught to memorize irregular words by sight. In most irregular words, only one or two letters do not conform to their usual sound correspondence. This means that most irregular words are at least partially decodable. Rather than relying on visual memorization, instruction in irregular words should promote students’ orthographic mapping. This means that the focus should be on connecting the letters in the word to the sounds they represent, even if the correspondence is an unusual one. To teach new irregular words, you should guide your students in identifying the irregular part of the word—the letter or letters that don’t follow regular phonetic rules. These are the parts of irregular words that must be learned “by heart.”
