Why generate your own instead of downloading a set

Most printable kindergarten sets are generic, so the letters, words and numbers rarely match what your child's teacher is actually covering this week. Building kindergarten flashcards PDF files from your own material keeps the practice aligned with class.

  • Works from worksheets, slides, notes and photos of printed pages
  • Cards cover letters, sight words, numbers, shapes and colors when they are in your source
  • Study in the browser on the free plan, with three generations per month
  • PDF export for printing is included with Plus, along with unlimited generations
Example kindergarten flashcards for letters and numbers
What letter comes after M?N. Say the alphabet in order and point to each letter as you go.
Which sight word is this: "the"?The. It is one of the most common words in early reading, so it is worth recognizing on sight.
How many dots are on a die's side showing five?Five. Counting dots by arrangement, not one by one, helps children recognize small quantities quickly.
What shape has three sides?A triangle. Pointing out triangles in the classroom or at home reinforces the name.
What is 2 + 3?5. Use fingers or objects to count on from 2 until you reach 5.
Generate the full set

Starts from your material

Upload a PDF, PPTX, DOCX, plain text or a photo of a page. The text is read and turned into flashcards that match what your child is learning.

Spaced repetition

Cards that are missed come back more often, so letters, sight words and number facts stick across the school week.

PDF and Anki export

Plus members can export to PDF for printing and to Anki or CSV for other apps, so the same set works at home and in the classroom.

How it works

Upload your lesson material

Add a worksheet, slide deck, notes or a photo of a printed page. No credit card is needed to start.

Review the generated cards

Check the front and back of each flashcard and edit anything that needs a simpler word or a different picture prompt.

Study or export

Practice in the browser on the free plan, or export a PDF to print on Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month.

Start with the source you already have, such as a phonics worksheet, a unit slide deck or a list of sight words. DeckOwl reads the text and turns it into cards, and you can trim or reword any card before studying.

Short, frequent sessions work better than long ones at this age. Spaced repetition brings back the cards your child missed, so practice stays focused on what needs more time.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should a kindergartner study in one session?

Small sets of a handful of cards work better than long lists for five- and six-year-olds. Keeping sessions to a few minutes a day usually helps more than one long session a week.

What topics work best as kindergarten flashcards?

Letter names and sounds, sight words, number recognition, counting, shapes and colors all work well as short question-and-answer cards. Use the cards that match what your child is learning in class.

Can I export the flashcards as a PDF?

Yes, PDF export is included with the Plus plan, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
