How this list was compiled: Every line was written for this site on 2026-09-30 and read aloud for sense. No line is taken from a published sight word list or workbook, and the page claims no list or grade level for the word. That away is said uh-way with the stress on its second half, that it rhymes with the words ending in the long a sound, and that it is a- joined to way: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/away (pronunciation and etymology, checked 2026-09-30). That way has the same long a: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/way (checked 2026-09-30). That always begins with the sound of all: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/always (checked 2026-09-30). Spellings were checked against the macOS system word list. The counts in the spot-the-word rows and the word counts of the sentences were worked out. Sound notes describe general American pronunciation. Licence: own work

How it works

The away sight word is a and way with no space, and its two a's say two different sounds. This sheet has the child trace it, circle it among way, always, awake and any, and finish The bird flew ___.

Read the full guide

Two a's, two sounds

The first a is a quick uh and carries no stress; the word leans on its second half, a-WAY. The second a teams up with y to say long a, the sound at the end of day and stay. Wiktionary rhymes away with words that end in that sound.

A plus way, closed up

Wiktionary gives away as a- joined to way. Cover the first letter and read way. Children who know way often leave a gap or drop the first a, so the row away way away always asks them to find the whole word. The y is the only letter with a tail.

  • Clap it: a-WAY. Two claps, the second one louder.
  • Build way from the tiles, then put the other a in front with no gap.
  • At clean-up, hold up Put your toys away. and let the class read it.

Questions and answers

Why does my student write a way as two words?

A is a word and way is a word, so the gap feels right. The row away way away always has the joined word to circle. Then let the child build a and way from tiles and push them together.

Can the sight word away be sounded out?

Mostly. W is regular and a-y says long a, as in day. The catch is the first a, which says uh because the stress falls on the second half. Teach it as uh-way.

How is away different from always?

Always starts a-l, ends in s and begins with the sound of all. Away has neither letter and begins with a quick uh. Both words are in the find grid.
