Make vowel cards from your own lessons

Printable vowel flashcards are everywhere, but a set built from your own phonics list or reading passage fits what your class is actually covering. DeckOwl reads your PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a worksheet and writes vowel flashcards from it, so the practice matches the lesson.

  • Short and long vowel sounds on separate cards
  • Vowel digraphs like ai, ee and oa with example words
  • Silent e rule cards with a word on the front
  • Exports to PDF or Anki on the Plus plan
Example vowel sound flashcards
What sound does the short a make in cat?/æ/, the vowel sound heard in cat, hat and map.
What sound does the long a make in cake?/eɪ/, the same sound as the name of the letter a.
How many vowel letters are there in English?Five: a, e, i, o and u. The letter y often acts as a vowel too.
What is a vowel digraph?Two vowels together that make one sound, such as ai in rain or oa in boat.
What does the silent e do in bike?It makes the i say its long sound, /aɪ/, while the e itself stays silent.

Built from your material

Upload a worksheet, slide deck or photo of a board and the cards come from that content.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, so short and long vowel sounds get reviewed on schedule.

Export when you need it

Plus exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV so you can print a set or load it into a deck.

How it works

Add your lesson

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or a photo of a page.

Generate cards

Get flashcards for the vowel sounds and patterns in that material.

Review on schedule

Study in your browser and let spaced repetition bring back the cards you miss.

Vowels are easier to learn when each card isolates one pattern: a single sound, a digraph like ai or oa, or the silent e rule. Ask for a mix so you are not only drilling letter names. If you want the set on paper or in Anki, export is available on the Plus plan.

Frequently asked questions

How many vowel flashcards should a beginner study at once?

Start with 10 to 15 cards covering one sound pattern, such as the five short vowels. Add new cards once you can recall the current set without hesitating.

What is the difference between a long and a short vowel sound?

A short vowel is the sound heard in a word like cat or bed. A long vowel says the letter's name, as the a does in cake or the e does in see.

Can I export my vowel flashcards to print them?

Yes, the Plus plan at $39 a year or $7.99 a month exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month, but exports are not included.

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

No, you can start without a credit card. Students get 40% off with a school email.
