How this list was compiled: Every line was written for this site in September 2026 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. Spellings were checked against the macOS system word list; gets is an s-form the list does not hold and was checked separately. The counts in the spot-the-word rows and the word counts of the sentences were worked out. That get is said with a short e in British, American and Canadian English, that a regional American pronunciation rhymes it with sit, that it came through Middle English from Old Norse geta, that its past form is got, and that its meanings include obtain, receive, fetch, become, be permitted and understand: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/get (checked 2026-09-19). That get rhymes with pet, net, wet, jet, yet, let and set: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Rhymes:English/ɛt (checked 2026-09-19). That a soft g comes before e, i or y in words of Greek and Latin origin, and that some Germanic words such as get and give keep the hard sound there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_and_soft_G (checked 2026-09-19). Sound notes describe general American pronunciation. Licence: own work

A g that stays hard before e

Wikipedia's article on hard and soft g says the soft sound comes before e, i and y in words of Greek and Latin origin. It lists get and give among the Germanic words that stay hard there, and says get may be the commonest.

Say it your way, spell it with e

Wiktionary records a regional American get that rhymes with sit, and a child who says it that way writes git. Leave the speech alone and tie the spelling to pet, net and wet. Get also has four jobs. Fetch: Go get the ball. Receive: Can I get a hug? Become: We get wet. Understand: I get it now. All four are near the foot of this page, under The sight words and their practice lines.

  • Write pet, net and wet in a column, then get underneath. Only the first letter is new.
  • Write the gap row get g_t got g_t on the board, then say one line about today and one about yesterday.
  • Act out the commands. Write Go get the ball. or Get set, go. and let the class obey.

Questions and answers

Why does my student write git for get?

That is how the word is said in parts of the United States, and the child has spelled it faithfully. Show get under pet, net and wet, then write the gap row ge_ g_t _et, where the middle gap tempts an i.

My student reads get as jet. What helps?

Write the row get jet get yet and read it aloud together, then pair get with go, where the g is never in doubt. The letter's name, gee, starts with the soft sound, and words such as gem use it before e. Get does not.

Is get a sight word or a decodable word?

Decodable: hard g, short e, t. It is practiced by sight so the child reads it at a glance in phrases like get in, get out and get set. Pet, net, wet and let then come from changing one letter.
