Why make your own sight word cards

Pre-made lists of first 100 sight words flash cards are everywhere, but a generic set rarely matches the words your reader is practicing or the order your teacher uses.

  • Build the deck from the exact list your school or workbook uses.
  • Keep sessions short and regular, about a few minutes a day.
  • Add new words in small batches so earlier words stay fresh.
  • Say each word aloud when you see it, then spell it if it is an irregular word.
Example first 100 sight words flashcards
theThe most common word in English texts. Learn it by sight, because its vowel does not follow a regular sound rule.
saidIrregular: the "ai" is pronounced like the short "e" in "bed."
twoIrregular: it starts with a "t" sound, not a "w" sound.
couldThe "ou" is pronounced like the "oo" in "good," not like the "ou" in "out."
writeThe "w" is silent, so the word begins with the "r" sound.
Generate the full set

Starts from your material

Upload a PDF, slide deck, typed list, or a photo of a word list, and the text is read and turned into cards.

Spaced repetition

Words you miss come back sooner, and words you know are spaced further apart, so review time goes to the hard ones.

Study in the browser

Free accounts study right in the browser. Paid plans add PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export for printing or other apps.

How it works

Add your word list

Upload the list from school, a workbook page, or a photo of a chart. Plain typed lists work too.

Generate the cards

DeckOwl creates one card per word, with the word on the front and its answer or use on the back.

Study a few minutes a day

Review the deck in short sessions. The schedule brings back the words that need practice.

Sight words like "the," "said," and "could" don't follow simple sound rules, so they are learned by repeated exposure. Short, frequent reviews tend to work better than one long session, and a deck built from the exact list keeps practice focused.

Start with the words your child already knows, add a few new ones each week, and let spaced repetition bring back the ones that slip.

Frequently asked questions

How should a child practice the first 100 sight words?

Short daily sessions work better than long ones. Mix a few new words in with words already learned, and have the reader say each word aloud before moving on.

How many sight words should a beginning reader learn at once?

Small batches are common in early reading instruction, often a handful of new words at a time. Check with your child's teacher, since they know the reader's pace and the order of the list.

Can I export my sight word flashcards to print or to Anki?

Yes, but exports are on paid plans. PDF and DOCX export are included with Plus, along with Anki export, and the free plan studies in the browser only.

Can I try DeckOwl before paying?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and no credit card is needed to start.
