Why build your own high frequency words deck

A printed sheet of high frequency words flashcards is fine for a quick drill, but it treats every learner the same. Your class may use a different sequence, or your tutor may add words from a specific reading passage.

  • Start with the most common words, such as the, of, and, a, to and in.
  • Add new words in small batches so each one gets real review time.
  • Use the words from your own reading to see them in context.
  • Review daily, and let spaced repetition bring back the ones you miss.

Frequently asked questions

Which high frequency words should a beginner learn first?

Most early-reading and ESL lists start with very common words like the, of, and, a, to and in. Check your teacher's list first, since it may use a different order.

How many high frequency words should I study each session?

Many learners start with 10 to 20 new cards and review them the same day. Spaced repetition then brings back the ones you miss.

Is the free plan enough to make these cards?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exporting to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV requires Plus.

Can I turn a printed word list into flashcards?

Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload a picture of your list instead of retyping it.
