Why digital Dolch flashcards beat a static printout

Early readers learn words like said, come and because faster when they see the same words again and again at spaced intervals, and digital Dolch sight word flashcards make that repetition easy to schedule. A printed sheet shows every word at once, so a child spends time on the ones they already know and skips past the ones they do not.

Upload a Dolch list from a PDF, slide or photo and get cards for the exact words you need.
Use spaced repetition so missed words come back more often than mastered ones.
Keep separate sets for each grade level or reading group instead of one long list.
Export to Anki or CSV on the Plus plan if you want to study on another app.

Example Dolch sight word flashcards

comeSight word the o sounds like 'uh', so it cannot be sounded out. Example: Come here.

saidIrregular spelling: the ai is pronounced like 'e' in 'bed'. Example: She said yes.

becauseLearn it as a whole word and say it while pointing to each part. Example: I stayed inside because it rained.

whereRead the wh as a w sound and learn the rest as a unit. Example: Where is my red pencil?

twoThe w is silent and it sounds like 'too'. Example: I have two pencils.

Generate the full set

Start from your own list

Upload a PDF, slide, photo or plain text list of Dolch words and get flashcards built from exactly those words.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner and words you know move further apart, so review time goes to the words that need it.

Example sentences on the back

Each card can show the word in a short sentence so early readers see it in context, not just alone on a page.

How it works

Upload your list

Add a PDF, DOCX, slide deck, notes file, or a photo of the list. Photos are read with text recognition.

Review the cards

Check the generated flashcards, remove any you do not need, and keep the words your reader is working on.

Study with spaced repetition

Practice in the browser each day. Missed words return more often until they stick.

A custom set also keeps you in control of the list. If your school uses the pre-primer list for one group and the first grade list for another, you can upload each one separately and study them apart. Teachers and parents can keep the words tied to the books children are reading that week.

Flashcards are most useful when each word has a clear prompt on the front and a model on the back. Pair the word with a sentence, note any irregular spelling, and review with a short session rather than one long drill.

Frequently asked questions

What order should I teach Dolch sight words to a beginning reader?

Many teachers start with the pre-primer list, then move to the primer list and the first grade list, since those words appear often in early texts. Check the level your school or reading program uses so the order matches what children are reading.

How many Dolch words should a child learn each week?

There is no fixed rate. Many teachers add a small batch of new words each week and review older words daily, so the set grows without overwhelming the reader.
