Why build your own Dolch sight word cards

Most teachers already have a Dolch list in a folder, but a printed sheet does not show which words a child keeps missing. Upload that list and DeckOwl builds Dolch sight words flashcards from your own material, so you can drill the exact words your student struggles with.

  • Upload a PDF, photo or typed list and get one flashcard per word
  • Group cards by Dolch level so each session stays short
  • Spaced repetition brings back the words that were missed
  • Export to Anki or CSV on a paid plan to keep cards across devices
Example Dolch sight words flashcards
Spell the sight word that means the number after onetwo. It is on the primer list, and the w is silent, so learn it by sight.
Dolch primer: said is the past tense of which verb?say. Said is irregular and does not follow the usual sound-out pattern, so it is taught as a sight word.
Dolch first grade: use 'from' in a sentenceExample: The letter came from my aunt. Practice the word inside a phrase, not alone.
Dolch second grade: what does 'because' connect?Two clauses that show a cause, as in: We stayed inside because it rained.
Dolch primer: what is the difference between you and your?You is a pronoun for the person being addressed. Your shows ownership, as in your book.

Works from your own list

Upload a PDF, photo of a word wall, or typed notes, and get flashcards built from exactly the words you teach.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, and words you know are shown less often, so practice stays focused.

Study in the browser

Free accounts get 3 generations per month and can study right in the browser, with no app to install.

How it works

Upload your list

Add a file or photo of the Dolch words you are working on, such as the primer or first grade list.

Review the cards

DeckOwl creates one card per word. Remove any you do not need and add your own.

Practice daily

Study in short sessions and let spaced repetition bring back the words that need more practice.

The Dolch list is grouped into pre-primer, primer, first grade and second grade levels. You can upload one level at a time, which keeps each deck short enough for a single session and makes it easy to move on when a group is ready.

Spaced repetition does the scheduling for you. Each word returns at a gap that matches how well it was recalled, which suits sight words because they are learned through many short, repeated exposures rather than one long review.

Frequently asked questions

What order should I teach Dolch sight words?

Many teachers start with the pre-primer list, then move through primer, first grade and second grade. Mastering each group before adding the next keeps early readers from getting overloaded.

How many sight words should a child learn per week?

There is no fixed number, but short daily practice with a small set of new words works better than long weekly sessions. Review older words alongside new ones so earlier learning does not fade.

Can I use DeckOwl for free?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, with no credit card needed to start.

Do I need a paid plan to export my cards?

Yes. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are part of the Plus plan, which is $39 per year or $7.99 per month. Students with a school email get 40% off.
