Example pre-K sight word flashcards

saidIrregular: the 'ai' sounds like 'e' (sed), so children learn it by sight rather than sounding it out.

theCommon irregular word: the 'e' is pronounced 'uh' before a consonant, as in 'the dog'.

twoIrregular: the 'w' is silent and the word sounds like 'too', so it must be memorized.

whereStarts with 'wh' and 'ere' has no simple sound pattern, so children learn the whole word.

comeIrregular: the 'o' sounds like 'uh' (kum), not the 'oh' sound in 'home'.

Generate the full set

Start from your own words

Upload a typed list, a worksheet photo, or a PDF from your child's reading program and get cards without retyping.

Spaced repetition

Words your child misses come back more often, and words they already know appear less, so practice stays short.

Study anywhere

Practice in the browser on the free plan, or export to PDF for printing with Plus.

How it works

Add your word list

Upload a PDF, photo, or typed list of the sight words your child is working on.

Review the generated cards

Check that each word is spelled correctly and matches the list your school uses.

Practice in short rounds

Study a few cards at a time with a grown-up reading each word aloud, and let spaced repetition choose what comes next.

Once the deck exists, spaced repetition brings back the words a child misses and spaces out the ones they already know. Pre-K sessions usually work best in brief rounds, so a few cards with a grown-up reading along beat a long drill.

Frequently asked questions

Which sight words should a pre-K child learn first?

Many pre-K programs start with high-frequency words such as a, and, I, is, it, the, and to, then add words from the child's own books. Check the list your school or reading program uses, since lists vary.

How often should a pre-K child practice sight words?

Short daily sessions of a few minutes usually work better than long ones. Stop before the child gets tired and return to the same words the next day.

Can I print the flashcards?

Printing is a paid feature, since Plus exports to PDF and DOCX. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.
