Make alphabet flashcards you can actually reuse

Parents and teachers who want alphabet flashcards often end up with a stack of printed letters that never gets used twice. A DIY set made from your own letter chart or lesson sheet fits the way you already teach, so the sounds and example words match what the child hears in class.

  • Works from a photo of a letter chart, worksheet or slide deck
  • Pairs each letter with an example word you choose
  • Schedules review so weaker letters come back more often
  • Exports to PDF, CSV or Anki on the Plus plan
Example alphabet flashcards for kids learning letter sounds
Which letter makes the hard /k/ sound in 'cat'?C. It takes a hard /k/ sound before a, o and u.
What sound does the letter B make at the start of 'ball'?/b/. Press your lips together, then release them.
What is the lowercase form of the capital letter G?g. In print it has a tail that drops below the line.
Which letter is a vowel in 'sky' and 'happy'?Y. It often acts as a vowel when it ends a word.
Which letter comes right before R in the alphabet?Q. Saying the alphabet in order helps children learn the sequence.

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, slide deck, text file or photo of a letter chart, and the cards come from your own page.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, so letter sounds stick without rereading the whole set each day.

Export when you need it

Plus adds PDF and CSV export, so you can print a classroom set or load the cards into Anki.

How it works

Upload your letters

Add a worksheet, photo of a poster, or typed list of letters and sample words.

Review the cards

Check the generated fronts and backs, and edit any sound or word that does not match what you teach.

Study or export

Study in your browser on the free plan, or export to PDF, CSV or Anki on Plus.

Start with a few letters at a time. Upload the page you are working from, check that each card pairs a capital and lowercase letter with one clear example word, then study the set in short sessions. The free plan includes 5 generations a week and browser study, and Plus adds unlimited generations with PDF export.

Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition, so a snapshot of a laminated poster works as well as a file. Once the first set is done, you can build new ones for numbers, sight words or phonics patterns using the same process.

Frequently asked questions

How do I teach letter sounds with flashcards?

Pair each letter with one word that starts with its most common sound, and say the sound aloud before flipping the card. Introduce a few letters at a time rather than all 26 at once.

What age should children start alphabet flashcards?

Many children begin recognizing letters around ages three to five, but readiness varies. Short sessions of a few minutes usually work better than long ones.

Can I print my alphabet flashcards?

Printing is part of the paid plan. The free plan studies in the browser, while Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month adds PDF export.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 5 generations a week and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start.
