Why custom word cards work better for kids

Printable words flashcards for kids are easy to find, but they rarely match the spelling list, sight words, or vocabulary a child is tested on this week. Cards made from the child's own material keep practice tied to school.

Pull words straight from a spelling list, class reader, or worksheet photo
Add an example sentence on the back for words that are hard to picture
Use spaced repetition so tricky words return more often than easy ones
Keep the free plan for studying in the browser, and upgrade only if you need exports

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, a photo of a worksheet, or typed notes, and get flashcards drawn from those exact words.

Spaced repetition

Words come back at the intervals where a child is most likely to remember them, so weak words get more practice.

Front and back cards

Each card puts the word or question on the front and the meaning, spelling, or example on the back.

How it works

Upload the list or reading

Add a PDF, DOCX, slide deck, text file, or a clear photo of the spelling list or page.

Review the cards

Check the generated words and answers, and remove any you do not want your child to practice.

Study in short sessions

Practice in the browser for a few minutes a day, and let spaced repetition choose which words come next.

A good set is short, with roughly 10 to 15 words per session, reviewed on several days instead of crammed in one sitting. Sight words, spelling words, and new vocabulary from the current reading are the most useful starting points.

Frequently asked questions

How many words should a child study in one session?

Short sets of about 10 to 15 words work well for most young learners. Reviewing them over several days is usually more effective than one long session.

Which words are best to put on kids' flashcards?

Start with sight words, spelling list words, and vocabulary from the book being read in class. For abstract words, a simple picture or example sentence on the back helps.

Can I print the flashcards?

Printing is not a listed feature. PDF export is included in the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month, while the free plan lets you study in the browser.

Is there a free way to try it?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
