Why custom verb cards work better than a generic sheet

A printed sheet of verbs gives every child the same list, but a child learning verbs needs cards drawn from the books and word lists they are already reading. DeckOwl lets you build verb flashcards for kids from those materials: upload a PDF, a photo of a worksheet or a slide deck, and the cards come back ready to review.

  • Start with the verbs from current reading or spelling homework.
  • Keep new sets small, around 10 to 15 cards per session.
  • Have your child act out action verbs to make them stick.
  • Review the missed cards again the same day before moving on.
Example verb flashcards for kids

Which word is the action verb in 'The puppy chewed the shoe'?chewed. It shows what the puppy did.
Is 'is' an action verb or a linking verb?Linking verb. It connects the subject to a description and does not show an action.
What is the verb in 'Maria will paint the fence tomorrow'?will paint. The helping verb will and the main verb paint together show the future action.

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, a DOCX, a slide deck, notes or a photo of a worksheet, and the cards come from the text on those pages.

Spaced repetition

Cards your child misses come back sooner, and the ones they know fade into longer gaps, so practice stays short and focused.

Study in the browser

Your child can review on a tablet or laptop without installing anything. Exporting to PDF or Anki is a paid feature.

How it works

Upload the verb source

Add the reading passage, spelling list or worksheet your child is working on.

Generate the flashcards

DeckOwl creates question and answer cards from the verbs in that material.

Review a few minutes a day

Work through the due cards, and let spaced repetition decide what comes back next.

Short, frequent sessions work best with young learners. Aim for a handful of new cards a day, mix action verbs with linking verbs like is and seem, and have your child say each answer out loud before flipping the card.

Frequently asked questions

How many verb flashcards should a child study at once?

Most young learners do best with 10 to 15 new cards per session, reviewed for a few minutes a day. Add more only after the current set feels comfortable.

How can I help a kid tell action verbs from linking verbs?

Have them ask whether the word shows something being done, like run or throw, or connects the subject to a description, like is or seem. Practicing with sentences from their own reading helps the difference stick.

Can I print my flashcards?

Printing is done through PDF export, which is included in the Plus plan at $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The free plan lets you study the cards in the browser with 3 generations per month.

Is there a free plan to try this with my child?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off a paid plan with a school email.
