Custom vocabulary cards instead of ready-made sets

Ready-made sets are a fine starting point, but a child is more likely to practice words that appear in the books and lessons they are working through right now. DeckOwl reads a PDF, a photo of a worksheet or typed notes and writes vocabulary flash cards for kids from that exact text.

Cards come from the child's own reading, so the vocabulary matches school work.
Definitions can be edited to match the child's grade level.
Missed words return sooner, which keeps short sessions focused.
The free plan includes 3 generations per month for trying the tool with one list.

Generate the full set

Built from the text your child reads

Upload a PDF, a DOCX, a slide deck, notes or a photo of a page, and the cards are written from that exact material.

Spaced repetition

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

Print or export on Plus

Study in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF export so you can print cards at home, plus Anki and CSV export.

How it works

Upload the reading or word list

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of the page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Review the generated cards

Check the terms and definitions, then edit any card that is too advanced or too simple for your child.

Study a few words each day

Run a short session, and let spaced repetition bring back the words that need more practice.

DeckOwl is a separate tool, not a Skillmatics product, and it does not sell physical card sets. If you want printed cards, the Plus plan exports the generated cards as a PDF you can print at home.

Start with a small list each session. Five to ten new words with a clear definition and one example sentence each is a manageable load for most young learners, and the spaced review schedule handles the rest.

Frequently asked questions

How many new vocabulary words should a child study at once?

Small sets work better than long lists for young learners, so five to ten new words per session is a practical starting point. Add more only after the child can recall the earlier words without help.

How can a parent help a child remember new vocabulary words?

Ask the child to say each meaning in their own sentence, then use the same word in a new example. Review the words they miss more often than the ones they already know.

Can I print the flashcards?

Printing needs a PDF export, which is included in the Plus plan at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
