Why build your own set

Ready-made printable sets are useful, but they rarely match the letters, sounds and example words your learners are working on this week. DeckOwl lets you create alphabet flashcards from the material you already have, such as a phonics worksheet or a page from a course book.

Separate cards for letter names and letter sounds when your source includes both
Example words taken from the lesson your learners are actually studying
Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition
Free plan includes 3 generations a month, studied in the browser

Example alphabet and phonics flashcards

Which letter is named 'zed' in British English?Z. American English calls it 'zee', so British learners will hear 'zed' in class.

Which letters are the vowels in English spelling?A, E, I, O and U, with Y sometimes working as a vowel, as in 'gym'.

What is a phoneme?The smallest unit of sound that can change a word's meaning, such as the /p/ in 'pin' versus the /b/ in 'bin'.

What does phonics teach learners to do?Link letters to the sounds they make so they can decode unfamiliar words and spell words they hear.

Why do learners often confuse b and d?They look like mirror images, so practice them in words such as 'bed' and 'dog' with the sound spoken aloud.

Generate the full set

Any source you already have

Upload PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain notes or photos of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find hard come back more often, so letter names and sounds stick over time.

Study anywhere

The free plan studies in the browser. Paid plans add PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a phonics worksheet, a slide deck or a photo of a textbook page.

Check the cards

Review the generated flashcards and edit any that do not match your lesson.

Study and export

Study in the browser with spaced repetition, or export to Anki on the Plus plan.

Each card has a front and a back you can edit before studying. Spaced repetition then brings back the letters a learner finds hard more often, which helps with letter names, letter sounds and spelling.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a letter name and a letter sound?

A letter name is what you call the letter, such as 'bee' for B. A letter sound, or phoneme, is what the letter does inside a word, such as the /b/ in 'bat'. Learners usually need both, so cards that separate them are useful.

How should I teach British English letter names?

Teach the names learners will hear in British classrooms, such as 'zed' for Z, and point out that American English says 'zee' so learners recognize both. Short spoken drills before a quiz help the names stick.

Can I export my alphabet flashcards?

Free accounts study in the browser without exports. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are part of the Plus plan at $99.90 a year or $9.99 a month.

Is there a discount for students?

Students get 40% off with a school email. No credit card is needed to start.
