Why a custom sight word deck works better than a generic printout
A teacher's word list changes from week to week, so a generic printout often misses what your child needs. Generating 1st grade sight word flashcards from that exact list keeps practice on target, and spaced repetition brings back the words that still feel tricky.
- Use the words your child's class is actually learning this week
- Practice in short sessions so reading stays fun
- Repeat tricky words more often than the ones already known
- Add new lists as the school year moves on
Starts from your material
Upload the exact list your child's teacher sent home, or a photo of it, and the cards match that week's words.
Spaced repetition
Words your child gets wrong come back sooner, and the ones they know are spaced further apart.
Browser practice
Study on a tablet or laptop with no download. Exports to PDF, Anki, or CSV are part of the paid Plus plan.
How it works
Add the word list
Upload a PDF, a document, a slide deck, or a photo of a worksheet. Text in photos is read with text recognition.
Review the cards
Check the generated cards against the list and remove or edit any that do not fit.
Practice a little each day
Short sessions with spaced repetition focus on the words that still feel tricky.
Free printable decks are easy to find, but the DeckOwl free plan studies in the browser and does not export. If you want a printable PDF, an Anki file, or a CSV, that is part of the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, and students get 40% off with a school email.
To start, upload the list or a photo of it, then review the cards in short sessions over several days.

Frequently asked questions
How many sight words should a 1st grader learn at a time?
Most classes introduce a small group of words each week, so a list of about 5 to 10 new words works well for one set of cards. Review older words regularly so they stay automatic.
Which sight words do first graders usually learn?
Many first grade lists draw on the Dolch and Fry word lists, which include words such as come, could, does, and where. Your child's teacher's list is the best guide for what to practice.
Can I print the flashcards as a PDF?
PDF export is part of the Plus plan, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study the cards in your browser without exporting them.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card. Students get 40% off a paid plan with a school email.
