Turn your own word lists into sight word flash cards
Printable sheets are fixed and hard to adapt. DeckOwl builds a deck from the exact words your child is learning, then schedules reviews so the tricky ones come back sooner.
Why custom sight word cards work better than a generic printable
Many parents and teachers who search for first hundred sight words flash cards want something they can start using tonight. A printed sheet does that, but it covers a fixed list and cannot match the words in your child's own reading book or spelling unit.
- Use the official Fry or Dolch list as your source, or your teacher's list, and get cards from either.
- Sight words with irregular spelling, such as 'said' and 'come', get extra repetition until they are recognized on sight.
- Study in short daily sessions in the browser, with no printing and no cutting.
- Export to Anki or PDF with a Plus plan if you want a printed copy later.
Starts from your material
Upload a PDF, a photo of a word list, or a typed set of words, and get cards generated from that exact material.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss reappear more often, so common words like 'because' and 'said' stick without long drilling sessions.
Study in the browser
Practice on any device with no printing or cutting. Free accounts include three generations per month.
How it works
Add your word list
Upload the list from school, a photo of the page, or paste the words in as plain text.
Generate the cards
DeckOwl creates a front and back for each word, with the word on one side and its meaning or sentence on the other.
Review on a schedule
Study a short session each day. Words you know move out of rotation, and the rest keep coming back.
Custom cards solve that problem. Upload the list your class is using, or a photo of a reading passage, and DeckOwl turns it into a deck. Because the cards repeat on a spaced schedule, a child spends most of the time on the words they still miss instead of re-reading the ones they already know.
