Why generate your own sight word cards

Teachers and parents in Australia often search for printable sight word cards, and plenty of ready-made sets exist, but the words that matter are the ones on your child's own class list. DeckOwl turns Australian sight word flashcards from your own material, so the cards match what is being taught this term.

Use the exact word list your school or program sends home
Add words from readers and worksheets as the year goes on
Include a sample sentence on the back of each card for context
Review missed words more often than the ones already known

Example Australian sight word flashcards

becauseA word that gives a reason, as in 'We stayed inside because it rained.'

wasThe past tense of 'is' for one person or thing, as in 'The cat was asleep.'

againOnce more, as in 'Please read the page again.'

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text list or a photo of a page, and the text is read and turned into cards.

Spaced repetition

Words a learner misses come back sooner, so common words stick without long daily drills.

Study anywhere

How it works

Add your word list

Upload the sight word list from your class, a reader or a worksheet, or photograph the page.

Generate the cards

DeckOwl creates a flashcard for each word, with the word on the front and its meaning or a sample sentence on the back.

Study with spaced repetition

Practice in short sessions and let the schedule bring back the words that need more work.

Sight words are high-frequency words that children should recognize on sight rather than sounding out, such as 'the', 'said' and 'because'. Practice works best in short, regular sessions, and spaced repetition brings back the words a learner misses before they are forgotten.

Frequently asked questions

How many sight words should a Foundation student learn?

Schools and programs use different lists, so the best target is the list your child's teacher provides. Many learners start with the most common high-frequency words and add more across the year.

How often should my child practice sight word flashcards?

Short daily sessions of a few minutes tend to work better than one long session. Spaced repetition helps by showing missed words again sooner.

Can I export sight word cards to print?

PDF export is available on the Plus plan, which is $99.90/year or $9.99/month, and Plus also includes DOCX and Anki export. The Free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Is there a free plan to try it?

Yes, the Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
