Read and reveal card maker

Read the word, turn the card, check the picture

Print cards that check themselves. The word is on the front. The picture is folded to the back. Your child sounds out the word, says it, then turns the card over: if the picture matches, the word was read right. No grown-up is needed to say yes or no.

How to make your worksheet

  1. Pick a ready word set, or type your own words.
  2. Choose 6, 8 or 10 cards on a page.
  3. Print. Cut out the cards and fold each one on the dotted line, with the picture at the back.
  4. Read the word, then turn the card to check.

The reading skill

The picture comes after the reading, not before. A child cannot guess from the picture, so the word has to be sounded out. The picture then tells the child whether it was right.

Words with a picture

With a ready set, only words that have one of our pictures are used. A word you type with no picture gets an empty box to draw in.

Make them last

Fold, then glue the two halves together, or laminate the folded card.

Good questions

Why fold and not print on both sides?

Folding always lines up, on any printer.

Can I use my own words?

Yes. Choose “Type your own words” at the top of the word list and type them. What you type stays on your device.

Where do the pictures come from?

Every picture is one of our own hand-drawn crayon pictures. A picture is used only where a young child would name it with that word.

Is it free?

Yes, with no sign-up and no limit.
