Turn your sight word list into flashcards with AI
Upload a worksheet, a photo of a word list, or your notes, and get flashcards you review with spaced repetition.
Why a custom set beats a generic printout
Plenty of sites offer a ready-made page of sight word flash cards to print, but a generic list rarely matches the words a child is struggling with right now.
- Upload the word list your child brings home from school
- Add a photo of a worksheet and the text is read for you
- Review with spaced repetition so tricky words come back sooner
- Export to PDF with Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month
Start from your own words
Upload the list your child brings home or the words from a reading book, and the cards match what they are practicing this week.
Photos work too
Snap a picture of a worksheet or a page from a reading book. Text recognition reads it so you do not have to retype the words.
Spaced repetition
Words a child misses come back sooner, and words they know are spaced further apart, so practice stays short and useful.
How it works
Upload or snap a photo
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or a picture of the word list or page.
Generate your cards
DeckOwl turns the words into flashcards with the word on the front and an example sentence on the back.
Study in the browser
Practice a few minutes a day. Upgrade to Plus when you want to print or export to PDF.
Sight words are the high-frequency words, such as because, friend, and where, that early readers need to recognize at a glance. The words from your child's teacher or reading book are a better starting point than a random set.
DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain text, and photos of pages, then builds flashcards you can review with spaced repetition. The free plan includes 3 generations a month and study in the browser. PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export are part of Plus.

Frequently asked questions
How many sight words should a child learn in kindergarten?
Lists differ by school. The Dolch list has 220 service words plus 95 nouns, but the best first set is usually the words your child's teacher is practicing this week.
How should I practice sight words at home?
Keep sessions short, around 5 to 10 minutes, and repeat a small set of words each day. Say the word, use it in a sentence, and move on quickly once it is known.
Can I print my flashcards?
Printing and PDF export are part of the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study your cards in the browser with 3 generations per month.
Do I need a credit card to start?
