Why build your own phonics set

Old phonics card sets rarely match the order your child is learning sounds in, so used Abeka phonics flashcards often leave gaps. DeckOwl builds a set from the pages you already have instead.

  • Cards follow the exact sounds and word lists in your lesson.
  • Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition.
  • Spaced repetition brings back the sounds your child misses.
  • Free plan includes 3 generations per month, with no card needed to start.
Example phonics flashcards for early readers
What sound do the letters ch make in chin?/ch/, a consonant digraph: two letters that make one sound.
What does the silent e do in the word cake?It makes the vowel say its long name, so cake sounds like /kayk/, and the e itself is silent.
What is an r-controlled vowel?A vowel followed by r, such as ar in car, which does not have a short or long sound.
Which letters make the /oi/ sound in coin?oi, or oy at the end of a word, as in boy.
What are the five short vowel sounds?a as in cat, e as in bed, i as in pig, o as in hot, and u as in cup.

Built from your pages

Upload a PDF, slides, a DOCX, plain notes or a photo of a worksheet. Text recognition reads the letters and example words on the page.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, so the trickier sounds get more practice than the ones your child already knows.

Study in the browser

The free plan lets you study on any device with a browser. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of Plus.

How it works

Upload your lesson

Add the PDF, photo or notes from the sounds you are covering this week.

Check the cards

Review the generated fronts and backs and edit any sound or word that does not match your lesson.

Study a little each day

Run short sessions so new sounds and older ones stay fresh together.

Upload a PDF of a lesson, a photo of a worksheet or a text list of your own sound groups. The generator pulls out the letters, phonograms and example words, then makes flashcards you can study with spaced repetition so the harder sounds return more often.

Frequently asked questions

How many phonics flashcards should a beginning reader study at once?

Five to ten new cards is a common starting point, with older cards reviewed alongside them. Keep sessions short, around 10 to 15 minutes, so the sounds stay fresh.

How do you teach letter sounds with flashcards?

Show the letter or phonogram, have the child say the sound aloud, then flip the card to check. Review missed sounds more often than the ones they already know.

Can I export these flashcards to Anki or PDF?

Yes, but exports are part of the Plus plan at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No, the free plan does not require a credit card, so you can try it with one set of your own phonics pages first.
