How sight word flashcards help early readers

Many early reading lists use words that do not follow regular phonics rules, so children need to recognize them on sight. A sight word flashcards app lets you turn a teacher's list into a deck in a few minutes, without typing every word by hand.

Upload a photo of a word list, a worksheet, or typed notes.
Each card shows one word on the front and a short hint on the back.
Review sessions focus on the words your child misses most.
Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV are available on paid plans.

Example sight word flashcards for early readers

Word: theyThe ey spells the sound /ay/, so this word must be learned by sight rather than sounded out.

Word: saidThe ai makes a short /e/ sound here, so the word is best memorized as a whole.

Word: comeThe o makes the /uh/ sound in this word, not the long /oh/ from home.

Word: whatThe a sounds like /o/ after the wh, so it does not follow the /a/ pattern from cat.

Word: becauseRead it in two parts, be and cause, and remember that the au says /aw/ in this word.

Cards from your own lists

Upload a photo, PDF, or typed list from school, and the cards use the exact words your child is working on.

Spaced repetition

Words your child misses come back more often, and words they know are spaced further apart.

Study in the browser

Practice on a tablet, laptop, or phone browser. The free plan includes 3 generations per month with no credit card needed.

How it works

Upload the list

Add a photo of the word list, a worksheet, or a typed set of words. Photos are read with text recognition.

Review the cards

Check the generated cards, remove any words you do not need, and add your own if your teacher gave extras.

Practice daily

Study a short session each day. Spaced repetition decides which words come back next.

Short, frequent practice works better than one long session. Spaced repetition shows the words a child struggles with more often, which keeps sessions brief and focused on what needs work.

Frequently asked questions

How many sight words should a beginning reader learn at a time?

Many teachers introduce small groups, such as the Dolch pre-primer list, before moving to the next group. Practicing a few new words at a time with review of older ones tends to stick better than long lists at once.

Why are some sight words hard to sound out?

Words like the, said, and come have spellings that do not match their sounds in common phonics patterns. Children usually learn them by repeated exposure, which is what flashcards with spaced repetition are built for.

Can I print the flashcards?

Printing and exporting are part of the paid plans, which include PDF and DOCX export. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.
