Why a custom set beats a generic printable

A generic download covers the words someone else picked, not the ones on this week's reading log. DeckOwl lets you turn your own list into printable sight word flash cards by uploading a photo of the list, a worksheet, or a typed set of words.

Build cards from the exact words on your child's current reading list.
Read photos of worksheets with text recognition, so you do not retype anything.
Review in the browser on the free plan, with 3 generations per month.
Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki, or CSV on Plus for printing or other apps.

Study every day

Review in the browser for free, or export a printable PDF on Plus.

Flash cards work best when practice is short and frequent. Spaced repetition brings back the words a learner misses sooner and shows mastered words less often. The free plan covers browser study, and Plus adds PDF export for printing.

Frequently asked questions

How many sight words should a child learn at once?

Keep the working set small and add new words only after the current ones are read without hesitation. Small sets with frequent review usually stick better than long lists.

How do you practice sight words at home?

Have the learner say each word aloud, use it in a short sentence, and then spell it from memory. Short daily sessions work better than occasional long ones.

Can I print my sight word cards?

Printing requires PDF export, which is included in the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study the cards in your browser.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start.
