Make a quiz for kids from the lessons you already have

Kids remember more when a quiz checks one idea at a time, and a quiz for kids works best when the questions come from the lesson they just sat through. DeckOwl reads your PDF, slides, DOCX or notes, or a photo of a worksheet, and writes multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions with an explanation under each answer.

  • Multiple-choice and true/false questions are quick to check and easy for young kids to follow.
  • Each question includes an explanation, so wrong answers turn into a short lesson.
  • Questions are based on the lesson you upload, so the quiz matches what your child is studying.
  • Start on the free plan with no credit card, then upgrade only if you need exports.

Explanations under every answer

Each question includes a short explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a quick lesson instead of a dead end.

How it works

Review and study

Read through the questions before your child sees them, then study in the browser on the free plan.

Read through the questions before you hand them over, since a quick check catches anything too advanced for the age group. Because every question traces back to your material, the quiz matches the fractions, animals or history dates your child is studying rather than a generic set.

The free plan includes 3 generations a month and studying in the browser. Exporting to PDF or DOCX requires Plus, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month, and students get 40% off with a school email.
