Why custom sight word cards beat generic ones

Sight word lists differ from school to school and from one reading level to the next, so a general set often includes words your child has already mastered. Sight word flashcards on your phone work better when they come from the exact list a teacher sent home.

Cards come from the list your child actually needs, not a generic set
Photos of worksheets and handwritten notes can be read and turned into cards
Spaced repetition brings back the words that are still hard
Free plan studies in the browser; exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV need Plus

Example sight word flashcards for early readers

Sight word: saidPast tense of say, so it does not follow the sounds in s-a-i-d. Example: She said hello.

Sight word: becauseThe 'au' does not make the sound you might expect. Example: We stayed inside because it rained.

Sight word: werePronounced 'wur' even though it ends in e. Example: The kids were ready.

Sight word: fourStarts with f, but the 'ou' sounds like 'or'. Example: We have four apples.

Sight word: friendThe 'ie' makes a short e sound, not a long e sound. Example: My friend lives next door.

Generate the full set

Works from photos

Snap a picture of a word list or worksheet and the text is read with recognition, so you do not have to retype anything.

Spaced repetition

Words that get missed come back sooner, and words that are known appear less often, so practice time goes to the hard ones.

Study in the browser

Open the flashcards on your phone's browser on the free plan. No app download is required to start.

How it works

Add your word list

Upload a PDF, a document, a slide deck, plain text or a photo of the list your child is working on.

Generate the cards

Get one flashcard per word, with the word on the front and a short example or hint on the back.

Practice a few minutes a day

Open the set on your phone and review the cards that are due. Short daily sessions tend to work better than long ones.

Start with the words your child keeps missing. Keep each session short, say the word aloud before flipping the card, and use the spaced repetition schedule so the difficult words return more often.

Teachers and tutors can build a set from a class list, then share the same material with families who want to practice at home.

Frequently asked questions

How many sight words should a young reader learn at once?

Most early reading programs introduce a small group at a time and move on once those words feel automatic. Check your child's school list or ask the teacher which words are coming next.

How do I practice sight words with a beginning reader?

Say the word, have your child read it back, and use it in a short sentence. Keep sessions brief and stop before your child gets tired.

Can I use the flashcards on my phone for free?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser on your phone. Exports are part of the paid plans.

Do I need to pay to export the cards?

Yes, exporting to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV is included in Plus at $39 per year or $7.99 per month. Students with a school email get 40% off.
