Phonics flashcards from your own material

Ready-made sets like Collins phonics flashcards cover common sounds, but your class may teach them in a different order or use different example words. DeckOwl builds cards from the exact pages you use, so the practice matches the lesson.

Example phonics flashcards for early readers

What sound does the digraph 'sh' make?/sh/, as in 'ship' and 'fish'. Two letters combine to make one sound.

What is a vowel team?Two vowel letters that make one sound, such as 'ai' in 'rain' or 'ee' in 'feet'.

What is a split digraph?A vowel, a consonant and a silent e, such as a_e in 'cake', where the e makes the first vowel say its long name.

What is a consonant blend?Two or three consonants said together with each sound heard, such as 'st' in 'stop' or 'spl' in 'splash'.

What does the magic e do at the end of a word?It usually makes the vowel before it say its long name, as in 'hop' changing to 'hope'.

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text notes or a photo of a page, and the flashcards come from your own phonics content.

Spaced repetition

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

Export when you need it

Plus users can export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV to print or study elsewhere.

How it works

Upload your phonics pages

Add a PDF, slides, notes or photos of the sound charts and word lists you use.

Generate flashcards

DeckOwl reads the text and creates front and back cards for each sound, pattern or word.

Study on a schedule

Review in the browser and let spaced repetition bring back the sounds you miss.

Start with the sounds you teach first, such as single letters and short vowels, then add digraphs like sh and ch, and vowel teams like ai and ee. Keeping each set focused on one pattern makes it easier to spot the mistakes that need more review.

If you are a teacher or parent, you can also make separate card sets for each week's sounds and study them in short sessions. The free plan lets you try this with three generations a month, and no credit card is needed to start.

Frequently asked questions

How many phonics flashcards should a beginner practice each day?

Short daily sessions with a small set of new cards usually work better than one long session. Spaced repetition then brings back the cards that need more practice.

What order should phonics sounds be taught in?

Many schemes start with single letter sounds such as s, a, t and p, then move to digraphs like sh and ch. Follow your school's scheme when it has one.

Can I export phonics flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but Anki export is a paid feature included with Plus, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The free plan lets you study in the browser.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can start on the free plan, which includes three generations per month, without adding a credit card.
