Why reading material needs a different kind of review

Reading assignments pile up faster than most students can remember them, and a long chapter rarely boils down to a single study sheet. A flashcard reading app built around your own material lets you break each text into the terms, claims and vocabulary you need to recall, then review them in short sessions.

Turns chapters, articles and lecture slides into cards
Covers vocabulary, main ideas, characters and key evidence
Schedules reviews with spaced repetition so weak cards return sooner
Pairs cards with quizzes and mind maps for a second look at the same text

Example reading comprehension flashcards

SkimmingReading quickly to get the main idea of a text, not every detail.

ScanningLooking quickly through a text for one specific name, date or term.

Context clueWords or sentences near an unfamiliar word that hint at its meaning.

InferenceA reasonable conclusion drawn from clues in the text plus what the reader already knows.

Main ideaThe central point an author makes, which the supporting details explain or prove.

Generate the full set

Cards from your own texts

Upload PDFs, DOCX files, slides, plain notes or photos of pages. The tool reads the text and drafts flashcards from the material you actually need to know.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know come back later, so review time goes to the vocabulary and ideas that are still slipping.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Switch from flashcards to multiple choice, true or false, or short answer quizzes with explanations, or lay out a passage as a mind map of its main ideas.

How it works

Upload your reading

Add a PDF, a Word file, a slide deck, typed notes or a photo of a printed page.

Review the draft cards

Check the generated flashcards against the text and edit any that need a clearer question or answer.

Study on a schedule

Work through the deck in your browser each day and let spaced repetition decide what comes back next.

Good reading flashcards test understanding, not just word lists. Ask for the main idea of a section, the meaning of a word as it is used in the passage, or the evidence an author gives for a claim. Keep each card to one idea so you can tell quickly whether you actually know it.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make from one reading assignment?

Most students do well with 15 to 30 cards per chapter, focusing on key terms, the main idea of each section and any vocabulary used in an unusual way. Trim the deck if you find yourself skipping cards that are too easy.

What should a good reading comprehension flashcard test?

Aim for a single idea per card, such as the main point of a paragraph, the meaning of a word in context, or the evidence an author uses for a claim. Avoid cards that ask for long passages from memory.

Can I export my reading flashcards?

Yes, but exports are a paid feature. Plus includes export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, while the free plan lets you study in the browser.

Does the free plan include spaced repetition?

Spaced repetition is included with Plus, which also removes the monthly generation limit. The free plan gives you 3 generations per month with study in the browser.
