How to practice Spanish reading with flashcards

Reading Spanish gets easier when you build vocabulary from the texts you actually have to read. Spanish reading flashcards made from your own articles, class handouts or photos of a textbook page keep each word tied to the sentence where it appeared.

  • Pick the unfamiliar verbs and connectors, such as sin embargo or aunque, before common nouns.
  • Include the example sentence on the back of the card so you remember how the word is used.
  • Review new cards the same day you read the passage, then let spaced repetition space out the rest.
  • Read a few lines aloud after you study the cards to connect spelling with pronunciation.
Example Spanish reading flashcards for intermediate learners
madrugarTo get up early in the morning, or to rise at dawn. Example: Madrugo los domingos para correr.
sin embargoHowever or nevertheless. It signals a contrast with the idea before it.
Ella leía cuando llegó su hermano. Why is leía in the imperfect?The imperfect describes an ongoing action, and llegó in the preterite is the event that interrupted it.
Es importante que tú ___ el texto. (leer)leas. The present subjunctive follows expressions of importance such as es importante que.
Information in a Spanish text: what does 'información' mean?Information. Many Spanish nouns ending in -ción match English nouns ending in -tion, which helps with cognates.

Built from your reading

Upload a PDF, DOCX, slides or a photo of a textbook page and get cards drawn from the words in that exact passage.

Spaced repetition

Words you miss come back sooner and familiar ones appear less often, so your review time goes to the vocabulary that needs it.

Study in the browser

Start on the free plan with no credit card and review your cards on any device with a browser.

How it works

Upload your passage

Add a PDF, DOCX, notes or a photo of the page. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Review the generated cards

Check the words and phrases DeckOwl picked and keep the ones you want to learn.

Study with spaced repetition

Go through the deck daily and let the schedule bring back the cards you find hardest.

Start with the words you cannot guess from context and skip the ones you already know. Keep each card's front as the Spanish word or phrase and the back as its meaning, then review the full sentence when you miss it so the usage sticks.
